Re: do i have a chance

Under the new RICO laws, officers are given more leverage to conduct search & seizures "with cause." As such, the obvious possessions may have immediately justified the arrest. And, any other subsequent circumstances may be subject to witness statements. Additionally, you are subjected to two different legal jurisdictions when you were arrested. If you feel that these issues are something that you can address, you certainly have the legally protected right to do so.
