Response by Attorney Michael Kotik:

Is it legal for them to send paper work regarding your arrestl? Yes.

If the police find drug paraphernalia on you, then that might be enough to give them probable cause to search the vehicle. However, to better answer your question I would need to here more facts concerning your case.

I suggest talking to a lawyer about this in more detail, preferably not through a site like this; for confidential reasons.
