If you get charged and arrested, hire an attorney and present your exculpatory evidence at the Preliminary Hearing. Your evidence may not help as much as you think.

No rights involved. Either you become a CI and possibly not go to jail but get killed. Or you possibly get arrested and need an attorney to keep you from being convicted. LEOs know that you talk to drug dealers on a regular basis. Might be time for a new phone.

There is not a different code for each year. Find the chapters for the Statutes addressing most of the law you are looking for. Then read the end of each Statute for revisions. Start with the present TCA, then look for any changes made from 2002 forward. The older law will apply in 2001.
