Criminal Law

“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”

– Thomas Jefferson

Bail Application – If the person wishes not to be imprisoned pending the finalisation of the trial, he or she may apply to the court to be released on warning or on warning with some conditions attached or on bail (with or without conditions). Bail is the sum of money paid to the court or to the police.
Unlawful Arrest – An arrest can be made only via a warrant. If the police officer reasonably believes there are grounds to arrest someone, they can do so without a warrant, but they must be able to justify their action. In the absence of sufficient justification, the arrest is unlawful.
Driving under the influence – is the offense of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated by drugs or especially alcohol.
Assault – An assault is the act of inflicting physical harm or unwanted physical contact upon a person or, in some specific legal definitions, a threat or attempt to commit such an action.
Self Defence – Self-defence is the use of force to protect yourself against someone who is attacking you.
Harassment Applications – When a person’s behaviour is so extreme, abusive or rude that it causes harm to another person or makes another person believe that s/he will suffer harm. This may include mental, psychological, physical or financial harm.
