You're pulled over for a broken taillight. The officer asks to search your car. Do you know if you have to consent to the search? Can you refuse to consent?

Most people who consent to searches do it because they have nothing to hide.

While that may seem like a fast way to speed up the police stop, most officers are looking for a reason to arrest you, not the other way around.

Check out this video to find out why you should never consent to any search from a law enforcement officer.

If I could warn professionals of one thing, it would be this…

I want to warn you of one of the most common charges that I see among high level professionals and it will shock you…

It is gun charges.

But how?

Most of the time, if you work in a professional setting, you’re most likely to buy a gun to protect your home or to protect your business, if you have your own business.

But the problem is, most people forget to take their gun out of the car before crossing state lines.

It could be something as simple as driving on the highway and temporarily crossing through state lines, or getting stopped by the police for a minor traffic violation.

Unfortunately, the police have to arrest you for the gun charge if you are not licensed in the state that you're stopped in.

Check out the video to learn more about what you can do to prevent this.

The truth is it's hard to win trials. Most of the time if you are charged with a crime, there was some evidence that was used to bring the charges.

But how does a good lawyer win cases in situations where the evidence is stacked against you?

The key is filing the right type of pre-trial motion.

It gives you an unfair advance in a case without having to go through a full trial.

Check out this video to learn the strategy behind pre-trial motions.
