When you meet with a Bucks County criminal defense lawyer and you are charged with PWID, you need to make sure your attorney covers a lot of issues with you. To start, it is best to bring a copy of the search warrant or Affidavit of Probable Cause.
- The attorney should discuss with you:
- What drugs were found?
- What was the weight of the drugs seized?
- Where were in the drugs found?
- Was an informant involved?
- Was there a direct buy/purchase of the drugs?
- Was there a direct buy/purchase by an undercover informant?
- Are there witnesses involved?
- Are there cameras in the area (i.e. near a storefront)?
- Was a search and seizure warrant issued?
- Did the police find the drugs in "plain view"?
- Were you stopped in your vehicle?
- Was there a gun found near the drugs?
- Was a scale found?
- Were baggies found?
- Was a ledger or "owe sheet" found?
All of these questions should be covered early on and well before the Preliminary Hearing in the Bucks County criminal process.
