A:
If the police in New Mexico do not return your property after your case is dismissed, you have several options to pursue. First, request the return of your property in writing, ensuring you keep copies of all correspondence. This creates a record of your efforts to reclaim your belongings.
If the written request does not result in the return of your property, you may need to file a motion with the court that handled your case, asking the judge to order the return of your property. This motion should outline the details of your case dismissal and specify the items that have not been returned.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider contacting an attorney for further assistance. They can help you understand your rights and may represent you in court if necessary to recover your property. Remember to document all interactions with law enforcement and legal proceedings related to this matter.
