Lately I've been reviewing an awful lot of search and seizure cases for my clinic work. It's getting to be a struggle--I like criminal work, but this is sort of a mechanical task that I have to finish about 30 hours of (thankfully, almost done).
I will say this, though, I'm getting all sorts of interesting information on what stupid things people do. Here's just a tip: when you have 30 pounds of marijuana stashed in your vehicle, you definitely should not do any of these things:
- Drive 91 mph in a 75 mph zone;
- drive with expired registration;
- drive with a revoked license;
- leap at the chance to have a drug dog sniff around the inside of your car; or
- all of the above at the same time.
One would think that it would be wise to obey all rules of the road, if nothing else. That seems to be the unconventional wisdom. I can only imagine how much drugs do get through because people are being somewhat careful.
