A Pretext Stop Can Sink the Evidence
Many drug arrests begin with a minor traffic stop used as a way to look for something more. The stop still needs a valid basis, and the search that follows still needs its own justification. When either is missing, the drugs can be suppressed and the case can fall apart. We also examine the lab work and whether the substance was in your control.
