Q: What would be a reason to have charges dropped of warrant has wrong information
I was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle this vehicle was mine pink ok no hand guy had bill of sale watch some other guy's name on it. In the warrant to arrest me they put my wife's car plate. Not my truck, and if they did a vin check on both vehicles they would come back owed by me and my wife. Cop threatened my wife by telling her if she didn't give pink slip he would arrest her and call CPS for her son so we have a picture front and back. The pink was never turned over for evidence. This case has been going on for. When they arrested me for pc496D he then searched me and found drugs. First time and they want to give me 60 days. Help please
A:
Assuming the charges with respect to receiving stolen property (that was your own) are dismissed and you are charged with possession- You might be eligible for Diversion under Penal Code section 1000 (a). No felony convictions within 5 years or prior drug convictions (besides possession) within 5 years? There is no jail with Diversion.
A motion to suppress the drugs might be in order if they violated your rights to locate them ( illegal detention, illegal search, illegal arrest); However, with an arrest warrant issued, that decision was made by a judge or DA with immunity.
