What can police search?

Police can charge you for anything on your body (actual possession), or anything in an area you control (constructive possession) that they find in a search. An attorney can help challenge this search. In most cases, if a search resulting in a drug charge is thrown out due to something the police did wrong, the case is generally also thrown out. It is important to have an attorney review how the police found the drugs. The attorney can ask whether the search was valid, whether the police had reasonable suspicion to stop you, and whether the search was done without your permission.
