Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio
Search
i was stopped by police officers for riding my bike in the street at night. They asked me if I had any drugs or weapons on me and I gave them a bag of marijuana i had in my pocket. After i gave them the marijuana they searched me and found other drugs i had in my pocket, not marijuana. I was charged with trafficking for the other drugs and money I had on me. is there any case law that disagrees with the search or any that supports it? do i have a chance?

Re: Search
Once you gave them the marijuana, they had probable cause to arrest you - everything else they did after your consent is legal now. Trafficking will be hard for them to prove - defend yourself with a lawyer.
