Potential Problems With Drug Traffic Stops
Law enforcement officers sometimes target out-of-state drivers on the interstate. Drivers may be stopped for a minor traffic violation and arrested for drug trafficking because they have a large amount of a drug in their possession. Even if the drivers did not intend to sell the drugs, they can be charged with trafficking.
With a lawyer to protect your rights, you can contest drug trafficking charges. We will examine whether the traffic stop was legal, if the police had probable cause, and if the officer had enough observations to arrest you.
If the police did not have probable cause to make a traffic stop, or to search you or your vehicle, we may be able to get evidence suppressed or charges dismissed. We will also determine whether the search and seizure was legal. Police are generally prohibited from executing a warrantless search in locations where an individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy. If an illegal search is conducted, any evidence obtained during the search is not admissible in court.
