ARIZONA CRIMINAL LAWYER FOR DRUG CRIMES:
It is very common in Arizona for law enforcement to find a reason to stop almost any rental car they see traveling through the state of Arizona, especially on I-8 and I-40. Once they stop you, they generally give you a warning ticket and as you are walking back to your car, they ask you if they can search your vehicle. You do not have to consent the this search. If you do, they will search your car and may very well bring in a drug dog to help. If you refuse, they generally can not search your car and in most cases they can not hold you while they bring in a drug dog, unless they have evidence that a crime is or is about to be committed. This is a very common practice on all of Arizona's interstate highways including i-10, I-8, I-15 and I-40. However, if they have a drug dog with them when they stop you they can run the dog around your car.
ARIZONA CRIMINAL LAWYER FOR DRUG CRIMES AT CHECKPOINTS:

If you are arrested at the Wellton checkpoint on I-8 in Arizona for a small amounts of drugs, you will be required to appear in the Wellton Justice Court. If you are stopped at the Welton checkpoint on I-8 and arrested for possession of drugs for sale or large amounts of drugs, you will be required to appear in Yuma County Superior Court. They also set up portable check points on the surrounding two lane highways all over the state of Arizona. If you are charged with simple possession of marijuana we are generally able to handle with case without you having to travel back to Wellton for Court. (this is up to the judge) As you pull into the check point they will sometimes, point blank, ask you if you are driving a rental car. If you are they most likely will ask you if they can search your car. They also look for signs that people are trying to cover the smell of drugs like people lighting up cigarettes spraying air freshener etc.
