After assessing the strength and facts of your case, our attorneys can help you devise a solid defense strategy. - Miranda rights violated - — Law enforcement officers are not “cowboys” — they must follow proper protocol. This includes ensuring that you understand and are aware of your Miranda rights. If you can prove that you were not read your rights, the case against you may be dropped. - Not yours - — Another tactic is to show that the drugs in question were not yours. Maybe you were taking a ride with a friend that had other people in the vehicle at the time of the stop or shortly before you were in the vehicle. If you can establish reasonable doubt that the drugs were yours, you may be able to fight the charges. - Police misconduct/planted evidence - — While not common, sometimes police misconduct is to blame. If you believe you are the victim of planted evidence or police abuse, seek counsel immediately. - Not real marijuana - — There are many fake marijuana products that look and smell like cannabis but are in fact legal and not psychoactive. - 4th Amendment - — The 4th Amendment of the constitution protects citizens for unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. Any evidence they obtain may be thrown out if you can prove that law enforcement performed an unreasonable search. This is also known as “fruit of the poisonous tree” in the legal world. - main - bullets - What is a State Jail Felony? - h2 - While many states are loosening marijuana restrictions, Texas remains inflexible.
