Did you read the press release. He was arrested for dui and incidental to the arrest the vehicle was searched and the firearm was located. No illegal search. Hope you pay more attention if you ever serve on jury duty.

Read the post again, slowly. If this is your perception of reality, you are one walking bust waiting to happen. As a “lawyer”, you have a fool for a client.

I bet they didnt keep him in jail. Just a revolving door . They should print whos kept and whos released due to over crowding.

If he doesn’t have a violent past it’s better to risk a flight to avoid prosecution, than to take up jail space that would be much better utilized if filled with a violent gang member. Besides if we’re lucky he’ll flee the area and be picked up and prosecuted in another county that can more afford it.
