Loss of the right to vote
Loss of the right to possess a firearm of any kind
Loss of the right to associate with known criminals

IMPORTANT!

-----------------------------------------
PRE-FILE ALERT:
Don't Wait Until You Are Arrested!
If you even suspect that you may be charged with a crime, speak to an attorney now!

Very often before formal charges are filed, there is an investigation. Law enforcement tries to gather as much evidence as possible to build their case against you. This is the pre-file stage of a case.

This pre-file period can be the most crucial stage of a criminal case. Since you haven't been arrested, you don't have any Miranda Rights. This is when most people fall into law enforcement traps designed to destroy their legal case.
