US police have arrested a father after he was pulled out of his car after being suspected of drug dealing.
Reasons for Pulling Out:
Pulling out a suspect is standard US police procedure in drug cases because:
1. Officer Safety: A vehicle may be a hiding place for weapons, drugs, or potentially dangerous devices. Removing the suspect first reduces the risk to the safety of the officer. 2. Preserving Evidence: Police have the right to search and seize evidence that is visible (Plain View Doctrine) in a vehicle. If drugs or drug paraphernalia are visible from the outside or during a conversation, this provides a legal basis for an arrest and further search. 3. Legal Charges: Arrests for drug offenses generally require the seizure and seizure of evidence. Pulling out a suspect allows the police to perform a pat-down for safety and a vehicle search if a warrant or other legal basis is available.
Potential Issues:
Even if there is a legal basis, the use of force is always subject to objection. The defendant’s defense attorney may have to consider whether the force used was “reasonable and necessary” in the circumstances. This analysis depends on the level of resistance from the suspect and the specific actions of the officer.
Next Development:
The man may be charged with Drug Trafficking/Distribution, a felony in the United States that carries a lengthy prison sentence and heavy fines, depending on the amount and type of drug involved.
