If they did not have probable cause to search the vehicle or your purse, but you gave consent to search the car, there may be an issue with consent to search your purse. Contact a local defense attorney to discuss the case in more detail.
You may get a citation in the mail.
The vehicle I just purchased the week before I handed him my license and found out that they were suspended at that moment and he kept them.

I pulled behind parked cars and the other car in... Read more »

Possibly. If the DWS is a misdemeanor then a new criminal charge could get your bond revoked. If you have an attorney on the drug case you should consult with them about the new situation, it may be possible to get the warrant recalled.
It really depends on the conditions the Court put in the SDP order, however, its a non moving violation and should not affect the SDP.

Got in an accident in florida on spring break, got a ticket for leaving scene and careless driving. The officer told me there are ticket clinics I won’t have to come back to florida to pay! My ticket has a court date on it. What do I do?
