Re: police guidlines on charging one with posession of drugs

There are a number of things that need to be looked into by an attorney that may vindicate you. Most importantly is the Daily log for that officer and the police cruiser that you were transported in. For example, how many other suspects were transported in that car prior to you. I would definitely retain an attorney to handle this for you. Also, what was the original reason for your arrest?? I fthey had no reason to arrest you in the first place, the drugs could possibly be suppressed. Please contact me if you have additional questions. 216...227...0900.
