.
A: The decision by a District Attorney (DA) to offer time served on a charge of drug possession, especially on a first plea offer, can stem from various factors. These might include the nature of the case, the strength of evidence, the defendant's background, and potentially even the circumstances of the arrest. As for feeling that a defendant's Fourth Amendment rights were violated, it's crucial to address this concern legally. The Fourth Amendment protects against unlawful searches and seizures. For personalized legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances, it's advisable to consult with an attorney.
