Good things come to those who wait.

For those of you who recall my recent run in with the law, that lead to the sale of my 86, I have an update.

I went to a motion hearing on October 22, in which the judge presiding over my case was to determine if there was any wrong doing on the behalf of the officers who arrested me. I got a call from my lawyer today, regarding the judges decision.

She determined the following;
1) That the officers of the Kennesaw City Police Department did not have probable cause to stop the vehicle I was in. Without probable cause, the entire chain of events leading to my arrest should not have happened. This will be a key factor in potentially having the whole case dismissed.

2) That because I was not read my rights, nor officially arrested before I was detained, and questioned in the back of the police car, the officers of the Kennesaw City Police Department did in fact violate my 5th Amendment right, after detaining me illegally. I called this when it happened, I even sat next to the judge in the court room, and watched the part of the video where I asked the officer after incriminating myself, "Is this the part where you read me my rights?" to which he replied "No."

3) Since the only evidence the Kennesaw City Police Department had linking me to the alleged crimes, was given to them by me, after being detained illegally, and not read my rights, none of my testimony, nor the officers video evidence of me during my arrest will be allowed in court. Nothing I said, can or will be used against me in the court of law.

Three big strikes against the boys in blue, because they couldn't play by their own rules.

So now, being that the prosecutors have absolutely no evidence to go on, I think there is a very real chance that a good portion of, if not all of these charges will be dropped, and I will be able to move on with my life. Although I'm not totally in the clear yet, and still have another court date in the future. It feels very good for the first time in my life, to have the law on my side. Ho ho.
