Your girlfriend has rights to exercise in court but it's not advisable to discuss over public forum. I would advise contacting an attorney that gives free consultations to get some better information.
Many mistakes were made in this case. By my lawyer and the judge. My lawyer failed to be prepared for the Rasmussen hearing. He never attempted to do any research into the case and facts. The case is entirely based around a vioation of both the 4th amendment and article 1 section 10 mn... View More
