Know Your Rights: Drug Distribution Profiling
In Arizona, the police and the department of public safety have created a profile they use when determining who to pull over in the hopes of finding evidence of illegal transportation of drugs from Mexico or to other states. This drug courier profile targets single men who are driving alone in rental cars. The police will pull the car over for a traffic violation, and while one officer questions the driver, another officer with a drug-sniffing dog will walk around the car searching for evidence of drugs, such as methamphetamine, marijuana or possession of any other drugs that will be used for sale.
This tactic is in violation of your Fourth Amendment right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures. Attorney Thomas Gorman will be able to show that this profiling took place and move for any evidence obtained in the traffic stop to be suppressed. If the motion is successful, the charges against you may be reduced or even dismissed.
