I was stopped by the police, they searched my car and found something illegal, is it over for me?

• It’s important to understand that the prosecutor is required to prove these charges against you beyond a reasonable doubt.
• The police have to have done their job correctly by following both the constitution of New Jersey and the constitution of the United States.
• Did they stop your car for a legitimate reason? Did they have a reason either one, to apply for a search warrant, or to request your consent to search? Can they prove that whatever it was in that car was actually yours?
