Can the courts retry me on a case I served 6 months on already after I signed a plea deal?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Cynthia Henley
Once you enter a plea bargain, the case is over. They cannot re-charge you on the SAME case, and you will have to follow your agreement.

Can the police search the garbage I put out for collection in the alley behind my house without a warrant?

Jeralyn Elise Merritt
Answered by attorney Jeralyn Elise Merritt (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Jeralyn E. Merritt
Generally, police are not required to obtain a search warrant to search or seize garbage that you place outside your home for collection. Courts, including those in Texas where you are from, hold that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in such discarded trash. Once a person places his trash in the location for pickup by the trash collectors, where it is accessible to the public and likely to be viewed by the public, that person no longer has a reasonable expectation of privacy in the trash. Further, it makes no difference whether the police or the garbage collector retrieves the bags. Once a person places trash bags containing contraband next to a public thoroughfare for collection, he exposes them to the public-at-large, including the police. If the police had come onto your property to seize the garbage, it would be a different story. Your home is protected by the Fourth Amendment. But such protection does not extend to the alley behind your home, or even to the sidewalk in front of it.
