Question by Amber: My lawyer won’t show me the “probable cause” papers for my search warrant.?!?
I am getting charged with possession of a controlled substance. Problem is that the drug wasn’t in my system and all they found was residue in my apartment when they searched it. I asked my lawyer what the probable cause to even issue a search warrant was and he said the state would not release that information. I don’t feel like that’s fair because I need to know what the probably cause was in order to fight this case….I’m so confused. QUESTION is: Can the state legally withhold the probable cause information until they reach the verdict to my case?

Answer by scott b
Yes. If they are selling you drugs, they are “drug dealing”

Answer by Jeff Alcott
Technically, it would be “Possession with intent to distribute.” The wording on the title of the crime, as well in the paragraphs in the criminal code, is worded so that monetary gain is not needed.

Basically, if you have weed, and you plan on it leaving you and going to someone else, whether they pay or not, is Possession with intent to distribute.

Each state has different laws. So unless you can tell how much weed, and what state….cant help ya with a penalty.    Read more...
