Can the police search a vehicle after the owner denied permission to search the vehicle?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Troy T Gorman (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Gorman Law Group, PC
There is not enough facts available to be certain, but generally, if you have been stopped for a traffic offense and there is "reasonable cause" for the officer to believe there is a weapon or contraband in the vehicle, they can search.? If you were taken into custody, they can search the vehicle before they impound it for inventory and saftey reasons.

What can I do after being caught with a gram of marijuana and pipe?

Gregory Casale
Answered by attorney Gregory Casale (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Gregory Casale, Attorney at Law
As you probably know, in MA, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana is a civil offense and not a crime. However, as silly as it sounds, possession of paraphernalia is still a crime. If you are concerned about your Criminal Offender Record of Information (CORI), your Record, as you should be, you may well be able to beat this case if there was no stop sign. The issue really is your record. Any mark on your CORI can prevent you from getting a job. Although it is a minor offense, often times employers simply make two pile, those with Records and those without. You know which pile gets further review. If you were charged criminally, by all means I would advise you to hire a lawyer and try to beat this case. I am always amazed when students, who probably will spend upwards of $100-$200K on their education are afraid to hire legal counsel to try to preserve their Record. If there was no stop sign, then the stop could be deemed unwarranted. If that is the case, anything found as the result of the stop would be suppressed and inadmissible in court. That would end the prosecution's case right there. You may even be summonsed into a Clerk's Hearing to see if there was even probable cause to issue a Criminal Complaint. If that is the case, your position is even better. If you are successful at a Clerk's Hearing, no criminal complaint even issues and you have no record a criminal charge whatsoever. Speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.

Will my case be closed if I have not completed my probation?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael E. Jones (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Michael E. Jones Attorney at Law
The court has authority to close your case; however, the usual procedure would be to issue a bench warrant and extend your probation until you are caught or report voluntarily. Contact your original attorney immediately.
