- Q. Can police legally unlock and search my glovebox without a warrant
- A: You're best legal challenge would be the reason for the initial detention. In Texas a police officer has to have reasonable suspicion that a traffic violation has occurred to pull over a vehicle. If the only reason the officer had to pull you over was the expired registration sticker it may well be that the stop was Illegal and all of the evidence found form the stop is "fruit of the poisonous tree" and should be suppressed leading to a dismissal. However it isn't agreed upon throughout the state that the registration sticker is an invalid reason for a stop. Governor Greg Abbott has announced that the temporary waiver of certain vehicle title and registration requirements will end on April 14, 2021. So until that time you cannot be convicted of the offense of displaying an expired registration sticker, but it is an open question undecided by the courts as to if an officer may begin an investigative detention. In Harris County the District Attorney's Office has issued memoranda to the assistants to this effect but in other counties you may be dealing with a different situation. As far as the searching of the locked glove box, California v. Acevedo from the United States Supreme Court holds that an officer may search the entire car inside and out including locked containers like a locked glove box if the officer has probable cause that evidence of a crime will be found in the vehicle. In this instance you seemed to indicate that marihuana was taken from your person prior to the search of the vehicle. Depending on how any why your person was searched this could lead to enough probable cause to search the locked glove box based on what is called the "automobile exception." The automobile exception would not save the legality of the search if it is ruled that the stop was invalid because of the registration issue.
- Q. Is it ever permissible for a person charged with a crime in the state of Texas did not see a judge at all
- A: It sounds like you made a bond prior to your initial appearance. The first hearing that is normally held is called an Article 15.17 hearing and a county has 48 hours to complete this hearing. If you bonded out prior to the hearing the police may have not delivered your case to the district attorney's office and it may or may not be filed in the courts. All of these things depend on a number of factors including where you were arrested and for what offense. Here's what the first part of Article 15.17 requires: Art. 15.17. DUTIES OF ARRESTING OFFICER AND MAGISTRATE. (a) In each case enumerated in this Code, the person making the arrest or the person having custody of the person arrested shall without unnecessary delay, but not later than 48 hours after the person is arrested, take the person arrested or have him taken before some magistrate of the county where the accused was arrested or, to provide more expeditiously to the person arrested the warnings described by this article, before a magistrate in any other county of this state.
- Q. My son got a citation for failure to control speed in College Station, there was absolutely no damage to either vehicle,
- A: It is difficult to predict exactly what a prosecutor would do in particular cases. However, it is very common that young offenders who are able to show that they have fixed the damage to other's vehicles are offered either community service or other conditions to complete in return for a dismissal of class "c" charges. Hiring a lawyer can be helpful so that you can avoid appearing in court and a plea offer like this can be negotiated. The College Station Municipal court is somewhat restrictive in what they typically approve and the defense of he is a young college student is something they hear all the time.
