Criminal Defense questions and answers

• If the car registered to me was involved in a police chase, fentnyal sales, but have no proof I was driving, can they arrest me?

  Asked in Garden Grove, CA | April 29, 2026

  My car was involved in a short police chase in which it was crashed into a wall, and the person driving jumped out and ran (getting away), but they found over 15 grams of fentanyl, 2 scales, 2 ounces of marijuana, and inside was also my phone, my wallet, and my dog, but I was not the one driving. Can they issue an arrest warrant and charge me just because I am the owner of the vehicle?

• I was charged with possession of identifying information with the # of items at 50 or more

  Asked in Dallas, TX | March 31, 2026

  But i only had 8 driver's licenses on me at the time of my arrest. And the only reason I had the DLs on me was because I got them from work from the lost and found and I had to drop them at my local post office, this can be proven by my managers.

• How does Illinois define "possession" in drug charges?

  Asked in Chicago, IL | November 21, 2024

  Can I be charged with drug possession if the drugs weren't directly on me, but were found in my car or home? I don't do any drugs, but I have friends that do occasionally partake. Can I get in legal trouble if they forget their stuff at my house or accidentally drop it in my car?
