Q: I was pulled over for taillight infraction.officer pulled me out of car put cuff on me searched me and arrested me.
I was arrested and booked for items found on my possession.the officer told me he ran my tag and knew it was me so he pulled me over. No I didn't have a warrant. When asked why I was being put in hand cuffs he didn't answer me. He just searched me then arrested me for the item he found on me. But there was no reason to pull me out I was not being rude or hateful at anytime. I was respectful and did as he asked.
A:
More info is needed to properly evaluate your case.
DID YOU HAVE OUTSTANDING WARRANT?
How did he have the right to search you?
However, it is always a good idea to contact a local attorney that handles these cases in the courthouse to which you are ordered to appear.
In other words, I am in Palm Springs and you don’t want to hire a Palm Springs lawyer for an Orange Co case.
Most criminal and accident lawyers will offer a free consultation to review the facts.
The case will depend on how the evidence was obtained and the details regarding the stop and arrest, as well as a review of the facts of your case.
Call a local attorney to discuss this matter in more detail and request an appointment.
Don't discuss your matter on a platform like this as what you say can be used against you.

A: The facts you shared do raise some important legal issues and constitutional rights. However, more information is needed. If you would like to consider hiring a private criminal defense attorney -- which always has its benefits because public defenders (if you get one) are overworked and not able to give clients the kind of attention a private attorney can -- then please go ahead and make the appointment to get your question answer correctly by an experience attorney in criminal defense.
