OUTCOME: My client's cash and car were returned to him. The criminal charges against him were dismissed

My client was stopped by a narcotics detective while going through a toll booth on Florida Turnpike. The officer claimed that his tag was partially concealed by a dealer frame. The police searched the ... car and found well over 25 pounds of cannabis in the trunk and over $15,000.00 in the glove compartment. The police arrested my client and took the money, his new car and the cannabis as evidence, and tried to get the judge to let them keep the money and the car. My client faced a three year mandatory prison sentence because of the amount of cannabis. I argued to both the lawyer representing the police trying to keep the money and the car and as well as to the prosecutor trying to send my client to prison that the traffic stop was illegal and that all of the evidence found by the police including the cannabis was "fruit of the poisonous tree." I persuaded both opposing attorneys to abandon their cases and both agreed to do so. The prosecutor dismissed the charges and the sheriff returned my client's cash and car to him.
