Shoplifting Laws in New Hampshire

Arrests and indictments for economy-inspired crimes like shoplifting, willful concealment, robbery, burglary, larceny and other theft crimes are rising throughout New Hampshire. If you have been arrested for shoplifting, willful concealment or any other theft crime in New Hampshire, or if someone wants to "ask you some questions","talk to you" or "have you come down to make out a statement", call 1-603-893-0074 for a free initial consultation and case evaluation. If a store detective, loss prevention employee or a police officer tries to question you regarding a shoplifting case, it is wise to contact a criminal defense lawyer before answering any questions or signing any statements. The stakes are high when you are faced with a shoplifting or other theft charge. The penalties for shoplifting, including the level of offense, depend on what the store and the cops claim the value of the goods were and what they can prove they were in court.

    Can you be defended by a criminal lawyer if you have a shoplifting case? A Minneapolis criminal lawyer once told me it can be when we were still settling down in that place.

Vital Tips to Never Forget While Driving

Especially on holiday weekends

Everyday, each driver on the road has a chance of being stopped and hassled by the police by way of roadblocks and seat belt law enforcement. But, drivers must beware - a higher chance of being stopped are during holiday weekends.

Roadblocks are the outcomes of government funding - they'll stop every car just to see if anyone may be drunk. And the likelihood that 100% of the stopped drivers are drunk? Not very high. This is the first problem with roadblocks. These "sobriety checkpoints" don't even end up finding drunk drivers! For example, the police will stop about 100 cars before they even find ONE person of whom they SUSPECT of a DWI. But, what they end up doing is arresting people for irrelevant crimes - other types of motor vehicle arrests (ones not pertaining to DWI), inspection, violations, people with warrants, etc. Then, they take these arrests and report, "SIX arrested at DWI checkpoint," only to find out there was one or maybe, two arrested for DWI.

To avoid run ins with the police during holiday weekends - or any day for that matter - follow these simple rules that will cross you off of the police's list:

Make sure your inspection stickers and registration are valid and up-to-date
When driving into a roadblock, or even driving by a police cruiser, you must always make sure your inspection sticker and registration are accurate and up-to-date. If not, you can almost guarantee that you will be hassled possibly fined. Remember, the police will pull you over for any reason they can get their hands on, whether it is relevant to DWI or DUI suspicion or not. Once the police have you stopped for a minuscule reason such as this one, they're one step closer to seeing if you could perhaps be drunk driving, or are carrying drugs in your car.

The penalty for violation a section of the motor vehicle code is $60, but you'll really pay the price if police smell alcohol or suspect that you've been drinking, simply for the lack of an inspection sticker.
Unfortunately, many drivers who are initially stopped for this minor violation end up charged with DWI, DUI or OUI. AVOID all of this by making sure your stickers are up to date!

2. Make sure your plate lights and other lights are working
All drivers during the night should make sure all their vehicle's lights are working, not only for their own safety, but to avoid interaction with the police. As previously stated, police will take any chance they can to pull drivers over, no matter how minor the violation may be. Generally, the driver may be following all rules of the road - obeying the speed limit, maintaining proper lane control, steady driving - but is still being pulled over for reasons unknown to the driver.

The number of stops for equipment violations have increased over the years, not because the police have a concern over the functioning of plate lights, or scolding drivers for not using their turn signals. Rather, the police have a broader goal: the police have co-opted the motor vehicle code to fight the war on drugs, and many DWI arrests ensue after these stops when the police can't find any drugs after the stop.

Avoid giving the police some of these chances to legally stop you by making sure that all your lights are functioning, your registration and inspection stickers are up to date, and your license is valid.

PREPARATION FOR THE WORST CASE SCENARIO:
It isn't a bad idea to prepare for this event, even if you least suspect it, there is still a strong chance this could happen to you someday. Always make sure your license and registration is in an easy place to find, so you can quickly and effortlessly produce it upon demand. Never put your license in a difficult place to find, or a place you'll know you'll forget. Practice taking your license out of your wallet in your own home.
CONSIDER GETTING A REGISTRATION HOLDER TO KEEP YOUR VEHICLE REGISTRATION IN. If you do not have one send me an e-mail with your mailing address and I will send you a registration holder for each of your vehicles free of charge. After, you can practice producing your license and registration fairly frequently. It will make it easier to do if you ever have to produce them under a pressurized roadside situation.
