Am I required to move the court date if I get military orders to leave the area?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
What type of cour date is it? If you have military orders I would imagine that would be good reason to miss most any court date, but you will need to let them know ahead of time so they can re-schedule. Otherwise they will issue a bench warrant for failure to appear.

Was there any probable cause for me to be searched?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney George William Woodworth (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of George Woodworth and Associates
From the facts you state, I cannot see any probable cause for you to be searched. Normally, if you are arrested, then the police may search you incident to that arrest. Otherwise they may not unless there are such reasonable grounds or "cause" to give an officer sufficient reason to violate your right to be private in your person and papers. Get an experienced criminal defense attorney to help you plan a course of legal action.
