Probable Cause in California Drug Charges
As former public defenders, senior attorneys Amarpreet Malik and Bhupinder Malik have been involved in hundreds of cases involving narcotics crimes and illegal searches of motor vehicles. In California motor vehicle crimes involving drugs, the police are required to have a search warrant or probable cause to believe that the contents of a car may be evidence of a crime. Police are required to have reason to suspect a crime before pulling someone over and making an arrest. Often, the prosecution's case relies on evidence that has been obtained illegally by police.

Grand Theft Auto
Auto theft is among the most common felony charges for grand larceny in California.

In many cases, the person charged with auto theft may have purchased the car legally, without knowing it was on a stolen vehicle list.
Speeding Tickets and Reckless Driving
Most people pay their speeding tickets without understanding just how much harm they are doing to their driving record. A single ticket for speeding, reckless driving or 'dry-reckless' in California can cost you thousands of dollars in increased car insurance premiums over many years.
