I was practically bullied into consent. this was in glendive mt.
A: You say that there was no reason, but I will bet that the cop will say something totally different. Hire a criminal defense attorney if you were charged with a crime. The attorney will learn all the facts, not just your position, but the cop's position as well, and represent you accordingly. Anyone who is charged with any crime needs to get an attorney.
