Can I get charged for possession if I was illegally searched and was caught having small amount of drugs?

Gregory Casale
Answered by attorney Gregory Casale (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Gregory Casale, Attorney at Law
You can get charged if the police have probable cause to arrest. This is not a high standard and if you were charged, they obviously thought they had it. The tougher standard is to convict, which takes beyond a reasonable doubt. You say the search was illegal. Only the judge can make that determination, but if you believe it is, then by all means your attorney should bring a motion to suppress any evidence gained through the search. In addition, you mention that you only had a small amount of drugs, which must have been something more than marijuana, since a small amount of pot only brings a civil citation (like a ticket). If you have a criminal charge, I advise that you take all steps to beat it if possible. You do not want a criminal conviction on your record it at all possible to avoid.

Can I get a felony expungement if I also have a separate misdemeanor conviction?

Under the recently amended law in Michigan, your only shot is if the misdemeanor occurred when you were under 21. Otherwise, two or more crimes make them all ineligible for expungement.

Where can I find a civil attorney for my 2 false arrest cases?

The best way to find an attorney is through a referral from a friend or relative. Otherwise you can Google "personal injury attorney (Your city and state)" and see what the search results are. You can contact your local county bar association for a referral.
