Have you dealt with the local dumb and/or dirty rogue cops within Leon County and/or Tallahassee?
Guess what, you’re probably going to end up in court at some point.
Contact the local media. Find witnesses. Turn the tables on the bastards and make them give your stuff back and drop the bogus charges.
Unfortunately, they prey on the poor because they know they can’t usually fight back.
Many Local Judge’s, Prosecutors and Police Officers would be without jobs if 90% of all the Bullshit cases didn’t exist in the local Leon County Kangaroo court which is a total joke for administration of real justice.
You might want to buy some religious material from Judge Judy Hawkins in order to gain some brownie points if you have her seating as your judge on a case. We would like to give you some other free advice as well.
The First thing we would do is try to obtain a lawyer as soon as possible. Get a good one like Criminal Defense Attorneys David Chester or Anabelle Dias in Tallahassee. We know many of you cannot afford one in which the ACLU or Florida Legal Services should be able to help you acquire one.
Next file a FOIA with the police department specifically requesting any and all information on complaints filed against the arresting officers. Many Officers with local law enforcement of the Tallahassee Police Department and Leon County Sheriff’s Office have a history of internal affairs complaints and lawsuits regarding civil rights violations and public corruption. You will need anything you can use to discredit those crooked and corrupt officers in court. It will be your word against theirs and you can pretty much guarantee the recording will be deleted if they found the one you made with your camera or audio recorder during the police encounter. Who would have believed Rodney King without the video tape?
Next you or your attorney will have to file motions of discovery to obtain copies of all evidence to be used against you in court including the video and audio evidences being held by police. Make sure you ask for the police reports too.
Always go before a jury instead of a bench trial if possible because local judge’s are often biased towards the crooked cops in local law enforcement that they work with together everyday in the court.
How to Get Charges Dismissed in a Criminal Case
Clik here to view.
Charges can be dropped any time between arrest and conviction.
If you ever find yourself facing criminal charges, whether an infraction, misdemeanor or felony, the best possible outcome would be to get the charges dropped. Charges can be dismissed at any point between arrest and conviction. Although obtaining an innocent verdict is good, getting charges dismissed saves time and litigation costs. Depending on your situation, the steps range in complexity, but there are a few simple guidelines to follow to have criminal charges dismissed.
Instructions
-
Learn about the specific charge you are facing. You can do this by reading the statute the prosecution is charging you with. Criminal law statutes will set out each element of a crime; you can only be charged and convicted of the crime if you have fulfilled each and every element of that crime. For example, in many states, the legal definition of theft is “unlawfully appropriating property with intent to deprive the owner of property.” If you can prove that you took someone else’s property, but only had the intention of borrowing it and not of depriving the owner of it, then you can request that your charge be dismissed. Note that the request must be made to the judge, who has the final say in this matter. Some mistakenly believe that the prosecutor determines this question. Not so–the judge makes the final determination. In most cases, the judge agrees with the prosecutor’s office if it decides to drop charges. Even so, the prosecutor’s duty is to prosecute a case and obtain a guilty verdict if justice demands it, so the prosecutor’s office will rarely drop criminal charges. The burden is therefore on the defendant to request the judge to dismiss the charges if he believes he is innocent of the crime.
Read the Fourth and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, and determine whether or not the police violated your constitutional rights during or after arrest. All citizens have a right to be protected from unreasonable searches and seizures, and law enforcement must always have probable cause before it can search you or your property. Police are also required to read you your Miranda rights while you are in custody, and all interrogation must cease if you request a lawyer. If the police failed to read you the Miranda Warning while you were in custody, or if they gathered evidence against you illegally by failing to produce a search warrant when one was required, then you may have a case for getting your charges discharged.
Do legal research on cases similar to yours. You can do an online search with Google of any number of legal databases, using search terms involving the particular crime you are charged with and any constitutional or statutory issues you think are relevant. Read these cases carefully, familiarize yourself with the legal issues and arguments involved, and try to determine whether or not they would apply successfully in your case. If you are being tried in a federal court, be sure to focus on federal law; if you are being charged in a state court, research the law of your particular state. Of course, a U.S. Supreme Court case would carry the greatest weight and authority in any court, so if you find one that is pertinent to your case, use it.
Tips & Warnings
- Criminal charges are serious and a conviction can adversely affect the rest of your life. Seriously consider consulting with a licensed attorney specializing in criminal law.
How to Get Evidence Thrown Out in Court
Everyone has seen a court case tried on television and movies where a damning piece of evidence is thrown out of court. This is a powerful weapon to yield in a case, as it makes the opposition seem unreliable.
Instructions
Make a motion to the judge to throw out the piece of evidence. Present your perspective and be prepared to back it up with the legal reasoning and possibly an example in other cases where a similar piece of evidence was thrown out.
Give the judge ample time to make a decision on your motion. Most judges will make the decision quickly.
