Note: Wearing a mask made out of your old gym shorts that does not filter out micro-organisms or chemical fogs will not provide any protection against airborne particles or contaminants such as viruses, bacteria, or pollutants. It may help you in a swarm of mosquito from getting some in your mouth maybe some baby spiders if they don’t crawl in the sides and wearing such a mask will be of no use in preventing the transmission of infectious diseases or reducing exposure to harmful substances. It is important to use masks that have adequate filtration capabilities and follow proper mask-wearing guidelines to ensure maximum effectiveness in preventing the spread of respiratory diseases.
What do I do if I get arrested?
Here are some general steps to follow if you are arrested:
1. Remain calm and don‘t resist the arrest.
2. Ask the reason for the arrest and know your rights.
3. Do not say anything to the police without a lawyer present.
4. Ask for a lawyer or public defender.
5. Provide your personal information but do not provide any other information without a lawyer present.
6. Be respectful and cooperative with the police, but do not incriminate yourself.
7. Don’t sign anything without your lawyer‘s approval.
8. If possible, inform someone you trust of your arrest.
9. Comply with police instructions and keep quiet until a lawyer advises you further.
Can the police lie to me?
The answer depends on the jurisdiction. In some places, the police are allowed to lie to a suspect during an interview or interrogation in order to obtain a confession or gather evidence.
In other places, lying by the police is not allowed, and any evidence obtained through deceptive means may be deemed inadmissible in court.
It‘s important to understand your rights and jurisdiction-specific laws if you are ever in a situation where you are being questioned by the police.
Just assume they are saying whatever they can to get you to confess. Whatever you say WILL be used against you.
So say nothing except your personal info. Get a lawyer.
Do police have to provide me a vegan meal if I am in jail and I am vegan?
We do not have access to the specific laws and regulations regarding this issue in every jurisdiction.
However, in many countries, prisons and jails are required to accommodate dietary restrictions, including providing vegan meals, in accordance with religious or medical requirements.
It is advisable to communicate this requirement to the prison or jail staff as soon as possible, so that accommodations can be made. Certainly they will be more than happy to prioritize and be concerned with your individual needs (for sure).
Can I sue the police for not feeding me while being held for questioning?
If you are detained by the police, you are entitled to a reasonable amount of food. If you believe that your rights are violated, you may want to consult with a lawyer who specializes in criminal law to determine whether you have a case against the police.
What kind of food you are provided is a different story.

Reviews
I was standing on the edge facing years of prison. I had an attorney who just tried to get me to move on and plea. A plea would have ruined my life, my future, my family and any chance of appeal. I decided to make a call and talk to another attorney just for the heck of it.
Thank god I called Michael after looking around the internet. After talking to him he explained what he was going to do and how the outcome would potentially be.
He said “If you hire me I will fight and it’s going to cost you a little more but I am fair and I will not back down”.
After a lengthy battle my case ended up in the higher courts and through the continuous fight my case was eventually dismissed.
I couldn’t believe it. Michael stood beside me the whole way. Thank you Michael for my future, my family and my freedom.
Worth every dollar and then some.
If you are looking for an attorney that is going to stand up for you and your rights, truly fight for you and not get bullied by the system, Michael Komorn is your guy, and the Komorn Law Firm is your team.
Michael successfully represented my case for a 2A rights restoration appeal and not only earned his fee, but my gratitude, respect and appreciation.
On the morning of my hearing date, the court docket was loaded and several cases were called prior to mine. I can only speculate that the Judge must have had a rough weekend because on this Monday morning, the atmosphere in the courtroom was intense and adversarial.
I didn’t seem to matter what side of a particular case counsel was on, if you were an attorney in front of this Judge on that morning, you were in for a rough ride.
As cases were called and heard, I began to get an uneasy feeling and anxiety that this was not going to go well for me. True to my suspicions, when my case was called, the Judge came out swinging and Michael immediately seemed to be on the ropes.
Michael couldn’t get two words out in response to any query before the Judge would cut him off and the frustration was beginning to show.
Michael however persisted with what I thought was a professional effort to present the facts and at one point, the Judge even threatened Michael with contempt.
Everything the Judge had asked for during the session was right there in the filling, she just refused to look at it.
The Judge eventually decided to take a pass on ruling the case and I wasn’t quite sure what was going to happen next.
My mind was reeling from the incredulousness of what had just occurred. It felt as if I was in the middle of a day-time TV show.
After about two hours, my case was recalled before the Judge.
In this session, the atmosphere was completely different. The conversation was professional and courteous. Michael was allowed to present the facts as they were provided with the filling and the Judge respectfully allowed them into the record.
Michael skillfully navigated the session to allow my personal testimony to be presented before the Judge. Given this opportunity, I knew this would be my best chance to provide convincing and compelling evidence to the Judge.
Michael pursued a strategic line of questioning that took the testimony right to the heart of the issue.
The evidence and testimony presented represented an overwhelming preponderance and the Judge dutifully ruled in my favor.
I believe justice was served on this day and the “system” worked. Michael and his team stood with me and did not back down in the face of adversity.
Many thanks to Michael and the Komorn Law Firm and to the Judge for doing the right thing. I know things are getting crazy in our world today, however, having faith in GOD and doing the right thing in spite of it all is what will see us through to a better day. MP

Michigan State Police stops marijuana blood testing over accuracy concerns with results

Local attorney Michael Komorn says he’s been fighting the state lab about many of his clients’ THC blood test results for years.
Komorn Law Secures Release Of Lorincz Child From CPS in Marijuana Custody Case
“This is one of those cases in an attorney’s career that is not easily forgotten, and is a reminder to me of the reason I became an attorney.”
– Michael Komorn, attorney from Komorn Law and recipient of the Michigan Bar Association Right to Counsel Award
Attorneys filed a federal class action lawsuit against the Michigan State Police crime labs this week, claiming its current marijuana reporting policy violates due process and Fourth Amendment rights and demanding it be thrown out for good.
“The fact that it continues to go on,” said Komorn, “it’s an outrage; it’s not science. The Michigan Medical Marijuana [Program] was supposed to be a shield, not a sword.”
Last fall, the MSP Forensic Science Division Director Captain Gregoire Michaud, who quietly retired this May, (and now runs Viridis Labs – A Marijuana Testing Labs bloated with controversy) made a presentation for the Wayne County Criminal Defense Bar. Michaud had said out of the crime labs’ $60 million budget, 40 percent was spent on testing marijuana. He said this caseload volume impeded their work on investigating other cases, specifically testing rape kits statewide.
Attorneys accuse Michigan State Police of conflict of interest over breathalyzer probe
Michigan defense attorneys who deal with driving under the influence (DUI) cases say their phones are ringing off the hook.
The calls are from clients wondering whether their drunk driving cases might be affected by a bombshell announcement made last week by the Michigan State Police
Farmington Hills-based defense attorney Michael Komorn specializes in DUI and cannabis cases. He says an independent investigation would also help with the question of what happens to the countless DUI cases that might be affected by this.
Michigan’s Medical Marihuana Confusion
Amanda celebrated her 22nd birthday, a milestone her mother Diane wasn’t sure she would reach.
“U of M hospital says they couldn’t do anything for her. She was on hospice, then she started losing the weight. She got down to 51 pounds at 21,” her mother said.
Amanda was diagnosed with Retts Syndrome. To control Amanda’s seizures, her doctor prescribed prescription drug after prescription drug, but nothing appeared to work – that is, until her mother tried medical marihuana as a last ditch effort to save her daughter’s life.
“She had edible cookie. Within 45 minutes, she had appetite back. She’s been eating since. Her daytime seizures quit, seizure-free for nine months,” her Mother said.
Since then, Amanda is more alert, relaxed, and has even gone back to school. Her weight has improved, too. She now weighs 95 pounds.
A victory for Oakland County Defense Attorney Michael Komorn, who says the law protects who it’s suppose to.
Defense attorneys say drivers should refuse Michigan’s new roadside drug tests
Multiple defense attorneys say they would advise their clients refuse Michigan’s new statewide roadside drug tests. They’re too untrustworthy, they say.
The penalty for refusing the test is a civil infraction, the fine for which varies by community, but it’s a better option than having unreliable results used to prosecute you in court, said Michael Komorn, a Farmington Hills-based drugged- and drunk-driving attorney, who also specializes in marijuana law.
