Should I cancel a polygraph test?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
It depends on who is administering the test and what purpose you are having one taken for. Have there been any agreements about the admissibility of the results? I would not take one until consulting with an attorney first. There can sometimes be strategic reasons for taking a polygraph, but not usually.

Is it legal for the police to conduct a vehicle search?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kathryn L. Hudson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Kathryn L. Hudson
That was an illegal search. In 2009 the Supreme Court in Arizona v. Gant overturned giving the police the right to search a vehicle with the only probable cause being a traffic violation. Now, to search without a warrant the reason for the search has to be connected to the alleged crime that led to the stop. In other words, if the stop was for suspicion of driving under the influence the police could search the car looking for alcohol or drugs because the reason for the stop is connected to the search. Stopping a driver for a routine traffic violation does not give the police the right to search without a warrant absent another exigent circumstance such as smelling drugs or seeing contraband in plain view. Once the driver is secured and there is no danger to the police officer the car not be searched.
