With a trespassing charge, can an 11550 be charged also?

I was arrested for trespassing, is it illegal for the police to test me for a controlled substance?

Re: With a trespassing charge, can an 11550 be charged also?

Yes, it is possible that the police also had sufficient cause to believe that you were under the influence, in addition to the reason for the initial contact as to trespassing. If so, then the 11550 charge could be proper. If there was no reason to suspect that you were under the influence, then you might bring a Motion to Suppress any evidence they may have collected. You may phone me at (562) 929-7422 to discuss.
