Felony Fleeing Defense Strategies

Summary

In Georgia, a felony fleeing charge can be serious. If no marijuana was found and the search was conducted post-crash, there may be potential defenses. The officers claim of smelling marijuana is subjective and can be challenged. Refusing a search is within your rights unless probable cause is established. The officer allowing you to handle your dog may indicate a lack of immediate threat perception. Consider consulting a local attorney to explore these aspects and develop a strong defense strategy.

I need highly likely favorable defense for being charged with felony fleeing attempting to elude in Gordon County, Ga. Client was stopped for no tag being displayed. Officer approached and client provided bill of sale, valid license and valid insurance. Client told officer he was stopped in Floyd County, Ga two days prior for same reason and all paper work checked out.. officer was provided citation print out proving such.. when Gordon deputy ran clients info and had nothing more to check, he approached driver and stated he smelled marijuana when he made his initial contact with driver.
Hey ****! To better assist you, can you clarify if the officer found any marijuana or if there were any additional charges related to marijuana possession? This information will help in understanding the complete situation.
Driver stated no pot has been smoked in vehicle and refused search. Officer said another officer was in route and get out of the vehicle, driver exited with his dog in hand and stood in front of patrol car. Driver requested to put dog back in car due to it being cold.. officer said ok, driver entered his vehicle and fled the scene. See report attached for remainder. Find loop holes in officers reasoning and actions .
Hey ****! Here are some points to consider regarding the officer's reasoning and actions:
- Probable Cause: The officer claimed to smell marijuana, which can be subjective and difficult to prove.
- Search Consent: You refused the search, which is within your rights unless the officer has probable cause.
- Dog Handling: You were allowed to put the dog back in the car, which could imply the situation wasn't considered fully secure by the officer.
