Answered 9 years and 10 months ago by Mr. Michael Todd Hampton (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Drug Crimes
Well, theoretically yes the judge could do that. However, not likely that a judge would take it upon himself without a recommendation from the DA. But, yes the DA could also do that depending on what the evidence is. Best to hire a lawyer to look over all facts of the case to give you a better answer. ... Read More

Charged with under 1oz of marijuana, pulled over without probabal cause what are my options?

Answered 12 years and 2 months ago by attorney Mr. Evan Austin Watson   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Drug Crimes
What city/county were you pulled over in?  Not all officers have cameras rolling, but hopefully in a case like yours they did.  With that being said, remember, you are the one charged with a crime.  You will find that no lawyer is going to take your case trying to sue or otherwise get the officer in trouble unless and until you win your case outright.  This likely means a Judge would need to agree that the cop fabricated the reason for stopping you.  Step 1 in a case like this is to interview and hire a good criminal defense lawyer to try to salvage your good record....

Deric, Whether or not the charge shows on your criminal record depends on how it was drafted and charged.  Local ordinance charges do not generally appear.  Misdemeanor and felony charged do appear on your Georgia record.  Not to mention, most drug crimes are "must appear" offenses that require actually going to court.   If you would like to provide me with more information like the county or city where this happened and the specific charge, I could help you further....
