Love the content. I’m fighting a case right now and your info helps me a lot.

Listening and watching your videos sure did educate me and is helping me win my case I thank you so much and God bless

Thank you for your content. Long story short I was helping a friend and he took advantage of me. This was very formal and belive it will help me in my case.

you make law sound so easy haha awesome video, my side hobby is learning law

I love how you explain things in a way that's really easy to understand. I'm not sure where you practice, but I'm in Charlotte NC and recently charged with possession. I am 50 yrs old and have no record. My husband is an addict and we had an argument one night over him going to rehab. I'd found a couple of baggies and straws, put them in my bag and ran out of the house. Literally to cool down and dispose of those items. Didn't even have shoes on. I was pulled over by county because my tag expired and I couldn't pass Inspection. The deputy almost immediately started insinuating drugs in the car, which to me, was very strange. Especially considering I have no record or runins with Leo. Not knowing any better, I halfheartedly gave consent but made it very clear that over the last week, my husband's friend had been in the car and even had backpacks in the back. Being upset still from the fight earlier and a wreck from the traffic stop in general, I struggled to think clearly. I did tell them that I'd gotten some things out of the house to dispose of but they only had tiny bit of residue. During the search, they found the baggies I'd spoken of and in the back, two pipes and straws. All with residue. Despite my efforts insisting they weren't mine, I went to jail for everything. If convicted of these felony charges, I risk losing alot and it will effect my life tremendously. And I don't even use. Can you tell Mr how to go about this? It just seems so unfair. And I will never admit to things that aren't mine nor take a deal for something that I didn't do. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

I thank you so much for your information it makes me less worry about what happened to me now thank you again !

Sir u are an American hero. The law works when we have appropriate knowledge

I'm trying to go into the military and got caught with new and my friend he pled no Contest I said I need more time so what I do I csnt go in of I get this charged with a mip please help

Thank you for your video. My husband is a 69 yr old Vietnam vet who has always denied PTSD to the VA doctors, yet he tells me he signed a sworn oath to never tell another soul about parts of that war. He had success in recovey from drugs/alcohol for a long period but succumbed and is now incarcerated where it looks like they intend to throw the book at him. Due to other circumstances, we can't afford legal representation yet the Public Defender office says he receives too much for them to be allowed to help and that he will have to represent himself. I am just now finding that my husband returned forms to them that he did not fully understand how to do. I am wondering how they couldn't see the incompletion on the form and allow me to finish it for him. If he is unable to complete the form, how can they expect him to represent himself? But again, thank you for the knowledge you provide to those of us who really need to know.

Steve, I love your videos. I hope you have some knowledge to help me. Thanks again

First video I've watched love it.

Hello.first off thanks for putting yourself out here to help inform the public. My question stems from an arrest last night by a conservation officer. My friend and I were fishing on a river side around1130pm very dark night.he obviously saw my friend smoking a marijuana pipe and approached him on foot with out announcing himself or any type of flash light he walked up and said give me the pipe.then asked if there was any more pot. My friend did what he thought was the best thing and have the officer a small personal bag. The officer asked me if I had anything and I did not. It's also charged with possession because he claims to have watched us pass it to one another. This is in Indiana. Wondering any defense that may work in my favor my friend even asked why I was being charged when he was the one in possession. Tiger officer called it possesion of something I don't remember

I have a question: so my uncle was at the store and when he got out the police waited for him and took him in jail, after that a lot of police officers went to there house and searched can they do that or do they need a search warrant??

Thanks sir love the videos

Your videos have eased some of the anxiety that has taken over my head. I have a few speeding tickets from my past and a Marijuana possession charge that was dropped back in 2018 (it is not on my record because it was reduced I paid a fine and that was that.) On the 3rd of this month I was pulled over in a Walmart parking lot because I hit the gas on the main way out of the lot towards the actual street and was doing, maybe 25-30mph. I saw the cop and just slowed down knowing I was going to be pulled over. The red and blue lights came on and I pulled into a parking spot and got my info ready for the officer. I rolled my window down and started to hand it to the cop and she proceeded to ask me if their were any guns, drugs, etc and if she could search my car if it came down to it. I didn't think that a search would happen because it never had before, there was no probable cause, I was being kind and obedient, and every time I have been pulled over the office asks me those questions. So, because my mouth opened before my brain could process anything I said yea with a shrug. First off, she never said why she pulled me over in a private parking lot. As I'm waiting for her to come back an officer that thinks he knows me taps on my passenger window with his flashlight. He asks about my son, and how my husband and I are doing blah, blah, blah, I shoot the breeze with him then he says he can't hear me and walks around to my window. I smile and continue shooting the breeze when he opens my door and asks me to step out. I ask him why and he says "well you gave her permission to search your car so I'll need you to step out." Scared, uneducated in criminal law and a person's rights, I ask him why again and he starts to get upset saying again I gave the other officer permission to search. I didn't want this cop to say I was resisting or being difficult so I got out of my car. As the female cop starts searching my vehicle I keep asking the male cop why are they searching my car. I didn't use the words probable cause but I still asked why amd that they shouldn't be doing that. I start to get emotional and the male cop looks at me and angrily says that if I keep it up he's going to put DUI charges on me. At that point I swallowed my gut shut my mouth and closed my eyes. They found almost a gram of cocain and a little under 4 grams of meth as well as a broken meth pipe. 2 felony possession charges and a misdemeanor paraphernalia charge. The male cop tried to say that I had broken the pipe when I first got pulled over but I laughed and told him I didn't even remember that I had it, and that was already broken. Of course I'm arrested and booked. I have never been in handcuffs, I have never even been to jail. I was released the next day on my own regard...? I don't think that's the right word but I have pretrial. I hardly do drugs and when I do it's to help my mental health issues. I feel like the cops did something wrong and I just need to figure that out. Do you observe anything in my police encounter that could help me? Here's a little background between myself and this male cop. He has had it out for methe day he met me it feels like. A few months ago a "neighbor" called the police saying I was outside yelling at another neighbor, 100% false I told him that I hadn't even been outside and that it was really weird someone would do that. After he left he sat in his vehicle for almost 2 hours. Will a week later, a neighbor called the cops saying I was yelling that was all that was said by this male cop when I opened my door. I was not, I was inside with my children. I had been cleaning the whole day, never once yelling. I told this cop just that and that is a little upsetting someone keeps making false police reports. This time he said he was going to take me in if he had to come back. I had called the cops a week before these two encounters with him because my husband and I were arguing and I just wanted it to stop. The male officer and 2 others came, pulled us both to the side and the 2 unknown cops talked to my husband while this male cop talked to me. Our conversation might have lasted two minutes. Anyway this cop has been out to get me because I know my neighbors (I live in a condo) and they have never called the cops on me or my husband, and we have been living there for 3yrs and 3 months. 2 of my neighbors have been there for 2 yrs and another one just a year, we all know each other and say hi when our paths cross amd celebrate the 4th together, but never have the cops been called despite some of the arguments I know they have heard through the walls. And it seems like the 2 reports made by a "neighbor" are BS. Fun fact about me I have mental health issues but it's not like I need to be institutionalized or monitored. I have been off my meds for a year and have been looking for a doctor being very unsuccessful as it's almost impossible to get an appointment with one that will help amd/or is available. I hadn't done any of the coke, i don't know how, I've never done it before and it has never sounded like something i want to do, why waste my money. It was given to me amd my husband by another neighbor for our wedding anniversary. Neither one of us touched it and it e went forgotten in a tiny super in my wallet. Shame on me! The meth i had just gotten that day and have been an on and off user for a year, never really got twacked out, never stayed up through the night, it was just the only thing i could think of to use to substitute for ADHD meds. I have ADHD bad, possibly PTSD, tons of anxiety that sends me into a tunnel, and bipolar. I'm a stay at home mommy with a 4yr old and a 19 month old, and my husband (I should say partner because we are not legally married on paper) who just started his own businesswho need me. I'm scared, I'm a wreck, and my brain is trying to protect me by not letting the severity of this sink in. If you have time what's your take on my case? What should i do that you might not have mentioned in any of your videos that would help me? I am so thankful for you and your team. The videos you are creating are a blessing for so many people. Thank you doesn't seem to be enough to show gratitude, you're one of the good guys. I appreciate your time, understanding, and help. I hope you are having a beautiful week.

It's insane how they treat personal drug users, many of whom lead normal lives, like criminals. Especially those who only smoke cannabis. It is also insane that this drug is still treated like a Class A. Even heroine addicts should he treated as sick, not criminal. People who start taking really hard drugs are usually in a lot of emotional pain stemming from childhood.

I’m charged with simple posession of marijuana for 2 vape carts in Nashville what are my options

With tears in my eyes and fear on my brain, I came to this video in hope for answers, when you said “attorney” I cried harder. My thoughts: How am I going to afford this and possible fines? Why is it so hard living in this country? I’m considering just ending my life might be my best solution.

I got caught with two ounces or less when I had less then on gram. This is my first offense and the officer got the vehicle wrong. what does this mean? I am in the state of SD

"evidence will not be admissable in court and YOU WILL WIN" can I get that played on repeat please... 3 days ago my bf and I were just walking down the road... Cops pull up ask what we're doing search him and arrest.... Nah I don think so.. gonna fight for sure because he specifically denied the request for a search and they did it anyway ... I love the way you explain this definitely best video so far thanks!!

When you say that knowledge of possession is a good defence what is it mean if they cannot prove you knowingly possessed something does that mean not guilty dismissal or does that mean no contest thanks again for your help with everything your awesome

thanks so much for this vid, rlly eased my anxiety could you answer this for me? so i was accused of smoking in the school bathroom (Tx) (which i wasn’t but my friend was so that’s why she thought i was too) and so the vice principal searched my backpack and found a vape which i ONLY brought to school to get rid of it by giving it to someone else. but at the end of the day i had a nicotine vape on me and now i have to go to court, what can i expect to happen?

Thank you for your brain.

Thanks

I have a prior 2018 case here in Oklahoma for possession of CDS for marijuana.. although now in Oklahoma it's legal if you have a OMMA medical marijuana card.. I do know about the 17b motion to drop this felony charge to a misdemeanor but I'm not sure if this terminology will help me get this resolved and reduced to a misdemeanor

Hello, I’m located in Georgia , I got caught with 3 kinds of pills, maybe 30 or so pills in all. This is my first offense, basically what I want to know is, with a good lawyer could I avoid jail time & get probation? Or is it mandatory jail time? I’m really lost with this kind of stuff and really just need some advice. Thank u.

Thanks for your video I’m ina situation where a passenger left a syringe behind her seat, in Illinois can they test it for DNA?

Thank u sir for this information.. My father have driver job in uk recently he is arrested by police due to some drug offence.. We are out of country we cant contact him... what we can do sir..?

I have a more specific question. Possession of marijuana on federal land, I have an active medical card & I am 21 years old. I had under the legal limit. I am trying to figure out how I should move forward, court is on the phone on Jan 12th, 2021. Thanks for the help

Thank you for helping, I am facing possession charges. Ex military first ever offence this has helped me a ton.

Thanks for all your help. I have a situation I could use some help with. I was pulled over in a friend's car for a rear brake light out. The officer had another officer come with a K9 and used that as probable cause. He searched and found some meth under the passenger seat that I wasn't aware of. I had just dropped off my daughter and her now x boyfriend at a motel after taking them grocery shopping. The officer didn't show me the drugs or even tell me how much was there. I couldn't afford a attorney and got a court appointed one were taking it to trial but he doesn't seem like he even cares if he wins the case or not. I could really use some advice please

I just got my first possession charge in NY. Illegal possession of marijuana (less than 2 grams) and possession of a controlled substance (about 3 xanax pills) I told them about the pills because they said they would tow my fathers car if they found anything else in the vehicle. Many are telling me plead not guilty and get a public defender to try to get charges dropped since it is my first ever offense. Is it likely they will drop the charges?

Watching this for a friend

Greetings Sir, I find your video so inspiring with full of knowledge. Iam an inspiring lawyer to become. But I don't know which specialists to join in. Can you please give me some tips for that.

i was told with the searrch warrant did not include a seperate garage owned by somebody else, but since the police acted on the presumption it was part of this property that the search warrant is valid.

Okay you seem like a very intelligent and smart man and I have a few questions I need to ask you I was pulled over with my brother there was a bubble a bubbler bong in the car

I will love a video explaining how to fight a DUI with drugs in New York. Indeed to see how NY play

I have a Question hopefully someome can answer. Im currently dealing with a case and the officers charged me with much more weight of drugs than i actually had. The particular drug was fentanyl and I know for a fact all I had was 4 points yet they charged me with 1.3 grams which is considered trafficking when it comes to fentanyl. Do they have to prove that I had that exact weight because if so I am in good shape. Also does baggy weight count or only substance?

Thank you for your videos in trying to help my boyfriend who does have a previous distribution charge back in 2006 that he got charged with because the miner who actually sold told cops it was his and she was a miner but he got pulled over few months ago and charged with possession of controlled substance 1.0 g his back pocket and possession of marijuana 2.2 g drivers side floor bored pariphenilia passenger side door and child endangerment involving drugs... Our 8 yr old was with him along with our 18 yr old who said the weed and grinder were his my mother went to pick the boys up when their dad got arrested they said she had warrant arrested her she had to bond out but the warrant had been recalled in July so no reason she should have been arrested but they allowed my 18 yr old drive my mom's car home with no license expired permit and with my 8yr in the car but no car seat when one was in car they got pulled over in... Anyways he was pulled over for trail light out he did give did give consent to search and her is on parole but they didn't have search warrant can he get the charges dropped??

I was offered a drug diversion program for two class e felony possession charges which required completion of their 10 drug classes and random UA’s. I completed everything and never heard from my case manager once the entire time, after I finished classes I called the program and they said i was good and done. I’m being recharged due to failing multiple of the UA’s during this time period. However, I never once either heard from, or could get ahold of my case manager while I was completing the program. No one ever told me I was failing my UA’s and they had me still complete all ten drug classes after I apparently failed. Do you have any ideas on what they generally do now? I’m aware that you do not know my case or specifics I’m just trying to get some what of an idea of what they have done to others in the past that this has happened to. If you have heard of something similar please let me know. Thank you.

Hi Steve, I know this video is older but was wondering if you are still able to answer a few questions I have

I heard that if the amount of drugs they found is not a large enough amount to test that it can be dropped? Is that true? Like if they found barely .1? Also I heard something about if the arresting officer doesn’t show up for court then the charges can get dropped is that true?

If you get charged for conspiracy for weed or as a co-accused & all there info is based on a CI can you push for motion to compel disclosure to try have it dropped in trial what’s the best way to fight a case like this ?

I am so grateful for this. I was asleep and someone said the police were at my door. When I opened the door they said they were there for stolen goods. While inside they found parafanalia that wasn't mine but I was the only one in there so I got charged and arrested with no rights being read. I don't k kw what to do

Hello I would like to know if you get pulled over for no turn signal and the police find out your driving suspended, does that give the police probable cause to search vehicle

I need advice on what to do in my case. I got pulled over in Nashville Tennessee with a half of weed on my way home. Its my first case ever what do I need to do in court?

I was hanging out with my buddy last night on his property, we were actually just sitting in the driveway when the cop rolled up. We were both half asleep and had already gotten done smoking but he searched my car and his car. I had a gram or so in my console of my car and so did my friend. He charged us both with paraphernalia and when I asked him how this would effect me he said he didn’t know. I’ve never been charged with anything and don’t know my way around the system

I'm driving my friends truck and I get pulled over and they find his stash under the front bench seat. I didn't k ow it was there but is that enough really? Brian

Close friend of mine was arrest on the 3rd for possession of marijuana. Any advice on how we should proceed. No bail bond.

must a search warrent contain the seal of the state and or stamp of the court clerk?

I was arrested for possessing two Xanax pills. They gave me two years probation and I have to get a drug abuse evaluation. I was just sentenced to probation yesterday but I’m wondering if I should try to appeal it. I don’t know much about the court system but it seems very excessive for the little amount I had. I’m not sure if you think I’d have any options.

What kind of questions would u use to pick a jurry in a weed possession case that’s going to trial 11/7/2022

Thanks for the info from someone that can't afford a lawyer can you receive a conviction but do no hard time in prison in georgia on a first time small amount of cocaine charge

Even if the police have probable cause, (smell of marijuana & admittance of just finishing smoking), do they have to have consent to search for it to be admissable in court? Thanks

I want to know about being read your rights. Before they actually arrest you or at the time of the arrest does the law require the cop to read you your rights? What if they don't? Don't they have rules and consequences if they don't follow them?

Do the automobile exception apply if the crime happen outside the car

I’m on probation and this guy that I know who has animosity towards me falsely accused me of sellling drugs to my P.O and sent her pictures of me that have drugs either in my hands or around me I’m not sure and I haven’t been charged with anything yet but how do you think this is gonna go? Can they even charge me for possession?

Is there a difference in them saying you have been indicated vs them serving you the actual hard copy indictment papers?

I have a pending hearing I am curious should I file a motion to dismiss before the justice court judge see me it’s the first time I have had court since jail

Can you get a drug possession charge dropped if you got pulled over and had and old prescribed controlled substance not in package but can prove you had an old expired prescription for it

i got into an accident, (a girl hit my bumper,) and the cops smelled marijuana in my car. they told me they now have probable cause to search but i ended up telling them where it was. (it was less than a gram/about a gram in a blunt,) and they gave me a summons for cooperating. no arrest. i have court in march for possession. i’m in Va, do you think i should get an attorney or just plea guilty and hope for the best.?

If you have a court date for posesion on a specified date for arainment also told that i can do a walkin erlier if want would it be better to wait or get the arrainment faster .. Note im on prrobation in california

For Search and Seizure does that come in to play when the marijuana in question is found n military housing

I have 3 felony possession charges from 2017, 30k bond, which I sat for a month for it to drop to 15k. I made bail once that happened, I came to every docket call til last in February was my first court date which I had no transportation to make it (i live in a different state) did notify the court possible to send me pdf form so I can sign and email it back. The form with my signature was never received later into the year around September i was told bonding company came off my bail. I got a lawyer to represent me, he motioned the court date and arrest warrant. So now I just would like to kno for the years of me not getting into any trouble with the law in the past 5 years is it possible this case has any chance to be dismissed??

Thanks for the info. What is the illegal drug was found on a stairway near where the person was passed out and then arrested?

Just got two drug charges statutes 152.027.3 and 152.092(b) first time ever getting any charges very fearful of jail time and fines I have to go to court. I was cooperative and honest gave everything over is it possible to get probation or community service instead

I have a possession of CS case open since July 2018, I do have a defense lawyer on the case. I have not been indicted but I am wondering how could I see closure on this case, it’s been more than two years and I’m still out on bond. Please help Mr

I have a question about illegal search. If you are asked by the officer if they can search your car and you say no this isnt my car I cant let you do that and he in turn has the drug dog do a walk around and says the dog alerted on the vehicle and searches is that ok for him to do that

If the person being charged with possession was with another person who was the owner of those drugs and placed the drugs in the purse of the person being charged unknowingly to the accused and is willing to make a statement to the court that the drugs were theirs is it possible for the charge to be dismissed or turned over to the admitting person whose drugs they were?

Hey man, i don't know if you'll see this, but I'm scared for my friend. she was charged with possession of marijuana and she lives in new mexico. (She's a minor) is there any possible way to drop these charges?

In March 2020 I was sitting in friend's parked car on upscale residential street in California. Being ill & nauseated, I took brief (20 min) nap behind wheel awaiting my friend to come back & join me in car...I was in driver's seat in case car needed moving from row of mailboxes. Neighbor called PD for a welfare check. Deputy Sheriff's tapping on window awoke me, I told him I was fine and he wanted my ID. I refused. He and another DS yanked me out of car (parked for over 30 min) and made do 2 sobriety walks (I was taking antibiotics & pain killers for extensive dental work at the time). which I passed but I'd told him I was unwell, needed a bathroom, had diarrhea. He didn't care & made me do 3rd test wherein, midway during test, I soiled my pants. Other officers (3 more cars) had arrived. From dash cam you hear one officer expressing disgust with me and ordered me to undress in public street (he didn't want to soil his patrol car.) I couldn't complete last test so they arrested & booked me. My, now, 3rd Pub def has messed up my case & now 4 years later still awaiting jury trial. Prior to arrest yet after they ordered me to strip down, officers searched the car (without my permission) seeing clothes in backseat (they grabbed for me to change in to) and found drugs & paraphernalia (not mine) and arrested & booked me for possession. I feel several of my Constitutional rights have been violated. Can you offer insight, comment, advice to me about this? Thank you.

My friend was asked to work as a informant to dismiss their possession charge. He did as told but was still charged after they made their bust. Can he get the charge dismissed?

Hi my name is Joseph and I'm currently in a situation regarding a drug charge can u help direct me with someone (lawyer) of your knowledge & expertise in bexar county San Antonio tx? Thanks

Say your in a care you have drugs in the glove box and the cop askes do you care if i search and you say “oh for sure” and then he finds the drug and you go to court but then you tell them what you said “oh for sure” which means you care so then whatever is in the vehicle is no longer yours , does that work?

I'm studying Criminal Justice. We are asked if drug possession charges violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Probably too late for my paper but what do you think?

Good morning Sir, I have a friend that is going through a drug charge right now. They had a search warrant when they went to his house. They busted through 2 or 3 doors ( totally unnecessary ) claimed they found some residents in a pipe and trying to charge him with possession of a controlled substance 1st degree . He wasn't even in the house when they busted in. Is there anything he can do to get it dropped? Any suggestions?
