We recently won a criminal case in which a judge suppressed evidence that was illegally seized. We knew that the traffic stop and arrest of our client was a pretext. It was all done so that the officer could get into our client’s car. But how would and how could we prove it. We setup a cross examination that would reveal the officers true motivations and show that he had no evidence that our client committed a crime, but stretched the law anyway in order to accomplish his goal — getting into his car to do a search.
