For a first offense with this quantity, you are unlikely to "do time." However, your outcome depends on other factor which are not in your question. Did you already receive the "complaint?" Do you have any idea why you were searched?  Edward Zohn, Attorney at Law, 908.791.0312

Can I fight my criminal charge if I was not read my rights?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
I really can't tell what happened as your version of the facts are very jumbled. However, I can tell you that contrary to popular belief, the police do not have to read you your Miranda rights in every situation nor does a Miranda violation constitute an automatic dismissal of the charges. To trigger Miranda warnings, you must be in police custody and they must be interrogating you or asking you potentially incriminating questions. That is determined on a case-by-case basis. If there is a Miranda violation, that only affects the admissibility of statements and possibly evidence that was obtained from those statements that would have not been otherwise discoverable. Miranda violations never affect the validity of the arrest, just the admissibility of the statements given in violation of Miranda. You will need an attorney to thoroughly review the record and police reports to determine if there was a Miranda violation. If so, he could file a suppression motion to keep these statements out and any evidence they found as a result of those statements. However, the police may have enough to proceed against you without the statements.

Can a case be dismissed if I was not read my Miranda rights?

Nathaniel D Shafer
Answered by attorney Nathaniel D Shafer
Criminal Law lawyer at Natty Shafer Law
Unlikely. Police need to read you Miranda rights if they plan to interrogate you. If they never ask questions, then Miranda rights are not required. However, cases are sometimes dismissed for other reasons.
