Thank you for sharing the details, Joseph. Here are some points to consider:
- **Probable Cause**: Police need probable cause to search and arrest.
- **Fourth Amendment**: Protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
- **Evidence**: The items found in your cousin's house may impact the charges.
For more precise guidance, it would be beneficial to consult with a legal professional. Do you have legal representation, or do you need help finding a public defender or private attorney?

the probable cause they said was the gas station when the guy through the bag inmycar they called it drug transaction
Joseph, here are some points to consider regarding the probable cause and drug transaction allegation:
- **Probable Cause**: Law enforcement must have a reasonable basis for believing a crime was committed.
- **Drug Transaction**: The act of someone throwing a bag into your car could be perceived as a transaction, but challenging this depends on evidence and witness statements.
- **Fourth Amendment**: You can argue any search or seizure was unreasonable if it lacked proper grounds.
