Re: traffic ticket
So far you haven't told me anything to indicate that any of your rights were violated. A police officer has a legal right to search a car that they pull over. Once they search, if they find something illegal, then they have probable cause for an arrest. However, you are still presumed innocent of any charges until proven guilty. Your welcome to call for more information.
