Re: illegal search

He would not have probable cause if he only thought that you had drugs in your hand.

He would need more than that.

If you would like to give me a little information I could better answer your question.

Feel free to give me a ring and we can chat further, my office is here in Broward where I previously worked as a prosecutor.
