Q: Possessing legitimate cash with under oz of marijuana. Intent to distribute charges because so. What’s my rights?
I have Chect stubs and bank statements proving legitimacy and ownership.
A:
You have the right to remain silent and not answer any questions from law enforcement without your attorney present. It’s important to exercise this right to avoid inadvertently providing information that could be used against you. You also have the right to request legal representation, and it's crucial to do so as soon as possible.
Having check stubs and bank statements that demonstrate legitimate income can be valuable evidence in your defense. These documents may help establish that your finances are lawful and unrelated to any intent to distribute marijuana. Make sure to keep all your records organized and readily available for your legal team.
It's essential to consult with a qualified attorney who can guide you through the legal process and help protect your rights. They can assess the specifics of your case, challenge any evidence that may be improperly obtained, and work towards the best possible outcome for your situation. Remember, you are not alone, and professional legal support can make a significant difference.
