The penalty is whatever monetary sum the courts award the plaintiff as this falls under civil code not criminal.

In other words, if someone charges you with a crime and you are found not guilty, then you can file a civil complaint. You can sue for cost, lawyer fees (for original case only), and punitive damages. If you win then the defendant will be ordered to pay you the awarded sum. No chance they will go to jail as this is a civil matter.

Is there a statute of limitations in MI for a landlord to sue a tenant for damages?

The statute of limitations for injury to personal property in Michigan is 3 years (Mich. Comp. Laws. Ann. S600.5805). This means that in civil clams related to personal property (conversion, trespass to chattels, adverse possession of chattels, etc), you have 3 years from when the claim arose. The claim arises usually when the item was converted, damaged, taken, etc. However, concealment of an item, so that you didn't know it was gone, for example, may toll the Statute of Limitation so that some courts may not consider the statutory period to start until you either discovered the item was missing, or should have discovered it was missing by due diligence.

the revisionist view of the cold war was as follows: This view states that the U.S is to blame for the 'outbreak' of the cold war. The theory was that Russia had to suffer under great losses during the war and therefore it was obvious and expected that Stalin would make sure that Russia had good relations to the neighbouring states. Therefore his motives were thought to be purely defensive and that there was no threat´to the U.S. and capitalism.

Can you renew your California ID if a bench warrant has been issued for you by a California court?

I am not a lawyer, however, I do have a fairly extensive knowledge of the law. I don't believe that the court system communicates with DMV as to who has warrants and who doesn't. The only way DMV would know about your warrant would be if it had something to do with a motor vehicle. Even if it does, I have never seen anyone arrested in a DMV office, I believe the DMV does their job and lets the officers do theirs, and I don't believe DMV personel have the authority to arrest people. You can buy a copy of DMV laws, rules and regulations from your local DMV. Last year, it was either 3 or 5 dollars. It might help you to get a copy of the DMV Laws in California, I buy one every year, so I know what I can and can't do, what officers can and can't do, and what other drivers can and can't do. Even at 5.00, this book is a bargain!! Saved me a bunch for sure! Hope this helps. * It is likely the DMV would have notification of an active warrant and the renewal of the license would be denied. CA. Penal Code 1214.1...(paraphrased) ..'the court may impose a hold on driving privileges and/or registration of any person who fails to appear in court for any proceeding authorized by law....'

What is the statute of limitations on forgery in Ohio?

First of all: Individuals can NOT "press charges." Only State Prosecutors may bring charges in court.

The victim/complainant would have to report the forgery to law enforcement who would then investigate the alleged offense. There is no time limit on reporting the offense to the police, but there IS a six year Statute of Limitations during which the perpetrator must be charged. After the expiration of that time, no criminal charges can be brought against them even if it is later KNOWN that they committed it.

Why would you want to wait to report it? The fresher the crime is the simpler it is to gather evidence and apprehend the perpetrator.
