Re: illegal search

You may have legitimate defenses for an illegal search. The practical aspect is that you are charged with a misdemeanor which will likely result in a plea bargain with no jail time. That being said do you want prolonged litigation and can you afford legal counsel? I would be happy to discuss this matter further with you.
