It is up to your attorney to object when a question is not relevant. Yes they can ask. There is very little likely hood of you getting in trouble after the fact.
uh...if you were driving without a license, in most states you will assume some if not all of the guilt for the accident. yes he has the right to ask.
IN America you don t have to answer with out your attorney present. Not illegal or unlawful question .....just tell him if he wants to talk to you he needs to speak to your attorney.
Yes and yes. In this situation the lawyer is trying to discredit the victim.
They can ask if you were wearing quot;pink pantiesquot; if they want.
If it does not have anything to do with the case then why would a lawyer ask the question? If you are part of a legal action and you take the stand then the opposing lawyer can ask virtually question that is pertinent to the case. If it isn t pertinent then your lawyer (or you) should object to the question as being irrelevant.
Yes, they can ask you anything, but if this truly has NOTHING to do with the case, your own lawyer should object. Yes, you could get into trouble immediately, but you might not, depending on the judge.
Is it lawful? Of course, it is. The lawyer can ask anything. It is an objectionable question? Maybe. If you were the victim in an accident and this is a civil case where you are seeking damages, such a question might be relevant to show you were really the one at fault. If you were driving without a license, does that mean you are a bad driver and so you may likely have caused the accident partially? Maybe. It s sort of relevant, but it also seems sort of irrelevant. On the other hand, just because you don t have a license doesn t mean you were driving negligently. Maybe you were driving perfectly. However, it puts an inference in the juries mind that you were a irresponsible in either not getting or losing your license. The inference may be objectionable and I would object to it if I were going against that attorney. I might even discuss the issue with the court before the trial began to make it so the other attorney can t even ask the question let alone get the answer. So my answer is that it may be a proper question, but it would depend on the circumstances. If the authorities find out, you might be charged with driving without a license. There is a statute of limitations. In California, the limitations is period is 1 year. If they don t charge you within that 1 year, you can t be convicted.
If you were driving without a license and involved in an accident it s your fault. You re not supposed to be driving.
What a question! If the lawyer didn t ask you every question he could think of that the opposition might, he could not represent you properly. Everything has to do with the case. Remember that the other party/ies are the victims and you are the criminal -or that is what they ll be trying to persuade the court. What you tell your lawyer is privileged information and no, you cannot get in trouble for telling him the truth. You can get in all sorts of trouble if you lie and the opposition lawyer unearths something. They ask you in court and you can get into real deep sh*t there.
