Invalid Arrest Evidence Suppression
Summary
Evidence obtained from an invalid arrest may be suppressed under the exclusionary rule. You can seek reimbursement for impound fees through a civil suit against the police department. Public defenders can file motions to suppress evidence, but for civil suits, you may need a private attorney or consider small claims court. Keep trying to contact your public defender, visit their office, or inform the court if communication issues persist. Document all attempts to reach your public defender.Full Conversation
My car was impounded for an invalid charge of Failure to Report an Accident. I reported to my vehicle was broke down and had a tow coming in the morning so no officers were sent until 30min before my tow was to arrive. The officer asked to search my car i said no he arrested me for failure to report an accident so that he could search my vehicle found nothing but a 2inch switch blade keychain pocket knife i had on my keychain to my car. In court they dropped the failure to report an accident charge but perusing a weapons charge. Since the keychain wasn't found until after i was invalidly charged with failure to report an accident that didnt take place and was reported, doesnt that dismiss any evidence found after the invalid arrest? Shouldnt the state pay for the fees related to the invalid impoundment of my vehicle?

In a civil suit for reimbursement, you wouldn't typically use a public defender, as they are appointed for criminal cases. You may need to seek a private attorney for civil matters, or you could consider representing yourself in small claims court if the amount is within the limit. Have you considered seeking legal aid or a consultation with a local attorney?
