Understanding Search And Seizure
Drug crimes are treated strictly in Indiana with penalties that include time behind bars, hefty fines, community service and probation. Often these cases start with a search. Did you agree to a search of your vehicle during a traffic stop without knowing a passenger left behind cocaine? Did officers uncover marijuana plants or methamphetamine at your residence through a search warrant?
You need to talk with a skilled drug crimes lawyer who will stand beside you and stand up for your rights.
Suppression Of Evidence
In both state and federal drug cases, issues can affect whether the prosecution can introduce evidence at trial. For instance, if a traffic stop lacked reasonable and articulable suspicion, the prosecution might not be able to use evidence against you or prove the case. Other defenses often relate to search warrant issues, involuntary consent to search or an improper interrogation. At all stages of the criminal justice system, it is crucial that you understand your constitutional rights and seek counsel from a criminal defense attorney who is experienced in defending drug charges.
