Traffic Stops And Drug Charges
A common scenario in Tennessee drug cases involves someone who is pulled over while driving on Interstate 40 or some other roadway in Hickman or Williamson County. Perhaps the driver was pulled over for speeding, suspicion of drunk driving or simply due to a broken taillight.
During the traffic stop, police discover drugs – marijuana, meth, opiates or some other banned substance – in the vehicle. Now, the driver faces drug possession charges. Depending on what else is found in the vehicle, or how the drugs are packaged, the driver can face even more serious felony drug charges such as possession with the intent to deliver.
Everyone has the right to a defense, even in scenarios such as this one. Prosecutors must prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, and there are defense strategies that can help.
As a defense attorney, she often starts by investigating the circumstances of the traffic stop. If the police violated the driver’s constitutional right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure, then the evidence can be suppressed from the court, greatly weakening the prosecution’s case.
In cases where this defense is not an option, she often sets up clients with rehabilitation programs and other solutions that not only can help them personally, but often can also become part of a deal with the prosecution that will minimize the penalties they face.
