Illegal Search And Bribery

Summary

In Tennessee, police require probable cause or consent to search a vehicle. Coercing someone for a controlled buy is unethical and potentially illegal. Charges must be filed within a specific time frame, as dictated by the statute of limitations. It is advisable to consult a local criminal defense attorney, especially if you are seeking pro bono services. The Tennessee Bar Association can provide referrals to attorneys who may work pro bono.

Hi ****! The legality of the officer's actions can be questionable. Generally:
- Police need probable cause to search your vehicle without consent.
- Bribing you to do a controlled buy is highly unethical and potentially illegal.
- The delay in filing charges may be addressed by a statute of limitations or procedural issues.
Consulting with a lawyer would be advisable in this situation.
