Can you get charged for being caught with small amount of drugs during illegal search?

Laurie A. Schmidt
Answered by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt
Criminal Law lawyer at 5280 Law Group
From your description it sounds like you would not be charged with simple possession. Typically, if the search was illegal, you can still be arrested and charged with a crime, you must then assert that your rights were violated and ask the judge to disallow the search. In the fact pattern that you described, it may or may not have been a legal search. These cases are very fact specific and one small detail can make the search valid or invalid. For example, if the cop had a reasonable belief that you had the warrant; but he was wrong may make the search legal. Or if the cop conducted the search prior to verifying your identity, could make the search illegal.

How can I get a different public defender?

Matthew G McHenry
Answered by attorney Matthew G McHenry
Criminal Law lawyer at Levine & McHenry LLC
Tell your public defender you want to fire him or her, and have the court appoint substitute counsel. Usually the court's will allow this on a first or even second request without a problem.

Charges can be filed on the least amount of evidence, including the testimony of the victim and/or witnesses. Whether or not the charges can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, is another story.
