DeSoto County, Mississippi Drug Crime Attorneys
DeSoto County is the second largest county in the metropolitan Memphis area and the third most populous county in the state. The county is located in the Mississippi Delta region, an area home to fertile agricultural land and, unfortunately, more than it’s fair share of drugs.
DeSoto County’s location near Memphis and the presence of Interstates 55, 69 and 40 make the county a prime location for drug trafficking cases as well as other drug crimes. Those engaged in the business of distributing drugs rely on the area’s vast interstate network which facilitates moving large quantities of illegal substances.
If you’ve been arrested for a crime like drug trafficking, it is your attorney’s job to pick apart the details of the arrest to look for possible violations of your rights. This means examining the legality of the initial stop and making sure proper procedures were followed with regard to any subsequent search and arrest. Did the police officer behave appropriately? Was the traffic stop legitimate? Was there a racial profiling element to your being pulled over? Was there a warrant? Did probable cause exist? Was coercion used during a police interrogation to extract incriminating information? Were you made aware of your rights following the arrest? A skilled DeSoto County criminal attorney should ask all these questions and, if the answer raises questions about possible violations of your rights, should be prepared to go to a judge and insist that incriminating evidence not be allowed into court.
