Unlawful Traffic Stop Defense

Summary

In Indiana, police need probable cause for vehicle searches without a warrant. If evidence is unlawfully obtained, it may be suppressed. If the court allows the evidence, argue the traffic stop was unlawful due to working lights, supported by video evidence. Emphasize the lack of probable cause for the stop. Stay in contact with your attorney for detailed guidance and follow up with the Greene County court for updates on your case.

If they do allow the evidence do I have any other argument about my lights. You can see they are working. I believe the officer ran my license plates and see that I have drug charges and resisting and that is reason he pulled me over and lied about the lights
Hi Gordon, if the evidence is allowed, you can argue that the initial traffic stop was unlawful due to the fact that your lights were working. To strengthen your case:
