Our expert team is armed with the knowledge, experience, and tenacity to expose legal loopholes and use them in your favor. Don’t wait—reach out to us today and let’s start building your winning defense.

Now, onto those juicy legal loopholes you’re here to learn about.

1. Search and Seizure Errors

The U.S. Constitution offers a handy little protection called the Fourth Amendment, which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. If law enforcement didn’t follow the rules, any evidence collected can be considered invalid. That’s one giant loophole that could lead to your charges being dismissed.

2. Lack of Possession

Were the drugs found in a shared space? Then proving you were in possession of the drugs becomes a more complex task for the prosecution. They must prove you had control over the location and knowledge of the drugs. If we can create enough doubt, the case could crumble.

3. Chain of Custody Concerns

Did you know evidence needs to follow a clear path from collection to the courtroom? Any discrepancy in the handling, storage, or documentation can be a major loophole we can exploit to challenge the evidence’s legitimacy.

4. Miranda Rights Violations

It’s more than just a phrase from crime dramas. If the police didn’t read you your rights at the time of arrest, it could lead to any confessions or statements being deemed inadmissible.

5. Medical Marijuana

With the medical marijuana program in PA, if you have a medical marijuana card and comply with the program rules, it could exempt you from certain drug possession charges.

Navigating the ins and outs of these legal loopholes is no simple feat. You need a trained eye and a determined spirit. You need The McShane Firm. We are well-versed in drug possession defense and stand ready to find and exploit these loopholes for your benefit.
