Effectively Approaching Your Possession Case

Reviewing your case with an experienced legal professional may help you gain a full understanding of your situation. In many cases, finding a legal solution depends on determining whether improper police procedure played a role in your arrest. Any violation of your rights may be grounds to have your case successfully dismissed.

Consider the following questions in your case:

• Did the officer have a warrant?
• Was there probable cause to conduct a search?
• Was your Fourth Amendment right violated?

Law enforcement officials cannot perform a search and seizure without first obtaining a warrant or having probable cause to conduct it. "Looking guilty" or "looking like a drug user" is not admissible as probable cause. Without meeting these standards, your drug crime attorney may file a motion to suppress evidence and effectively end the case.
