FAQs

The police at a checkpoint found my city sticker was out of date. He ordered me out of the car and searched it. He found some drugs I had forgotten about in the trunk. Even though I objected to the search, I was charged with possession. The cop said he smelled marijuana and saw seeds on the floor while he was questioning me. Can he search the trunk of my car without my permission?

The police in my neighborhood stop all black males they see on the street and search them. Isn't this illegal and unconstitutional? Can anything be done?

I was driving a family car when I was stopped for DWI. When they arrested the car, found drugs under the front seat, and charged me with possession even though I told them I didn't know anything about the drugs. What was their basis for this?

The cops came to my home with a search warrant and found a large stash of cocaine and cash in a box in my closet. The police report said they recovered $12,000 in cash, but there was $20,000, so they stole my money. Isn’t this enough to get the case thrown out?

I got stopped for a busted tail light and then, without my permission, the cop searched my car and found pot in the trunk. At the hearing, he said he knew I had drugs because he saw seeds on the floor and they were in "plain view", but the drugs in the trunk weren’t. Can a lawyer get the drugs excluded from evidence as illegally seized?

I share an apartment with three guys, but each of us have our own room. The cops had a warrant for one of my them and tossed the whole apartment. They found some pot and some coke and arrested all of us, but none of it was mine. I have no record but the police said we were guilty of "joint possession" because we were all on the lease. Should I take a deal?

In my neighborhood police will just stop you on the street for no reason and search you. Is there anything I can do about this?

I borrowed my friend’s car and got stopped by the police who asked if they could search. I said yes because I don't do anything illegal. They found some methamphetamine in the glove compartment, but it wasn’t mine. The cops said to "tell it to the judge." I guess I was "in possession" but I don’t feel like I committed any crime. Should I take the prosecutor’s offer for probation and no jail?
