Re: cop's plant & defend self

I am not licensed in your state. I am advising you to contact a competent criminal defense attorney who practices in your jurisdiction. You really cannot defend yourself well enough to even attempt it. You do need a good lawyer. Areas of concern would be the basis for the stop and the basis for the search; only a competent attorney will know how to deal with these issues and others that may show up in this case. Good Luck and do not delay in seeking counsel.
