Re: illeagal search
You present a very interesting issue. I can't say from these facts alone if they had probable cause to search. It depends on why they pulled you over, how they detained you, how long it took for the dogs to get there. It also is importantto know what they found. You definately have some issues for a motion to suppress. Please call if I can help. Valerie 561-659-9410
