Drug Interdiction Stops

Tennessee Highway Drug Interdiction Defense Attorney

Police officers are often perched in strategic areas around Interstate 40, Interstate 24, or Interstate 65. Their goal is to pull over cars that they suspect may contain drugs. At the law office of Rob McKinney, Attorney at Law in Nashville, Tennessee, we zealously represent our clients who have been charged with drug crimes as a result of the police practice of highway drug interdiction that seems more focused on generating revenue than stopping the drug trade.

Working to Exclude Illegally Obtained Evidence

Many times, reasons for pulling over a car randomly are manufactured by the police officer and are considered more of a passive response. For probable cause to stop a car and perform a search and seizure by a police officer or dog "trained" to find drugs there must have been a valid suspicion of drug possession. At the law office of Rob McKinney, Attorney at Law, we focus on the motivations of that initial traffic stop and move to suppress any evidence obtained in the absence of probable cause.

Cutting-Edge Defense in Criminal and Civil Forfeiture Proceedings

Traffic stops that are random and drug arrests that result from happenstance are a violation of your constitutional rights. Sadly, some police officers engage in a form of racial profiling, targeting one specific race and pulling them over in the hopes of finding drugs and money. By seizing the car and any cash and starting the process of a civil forfeiture proceeding, they are infusing revenue into their own police department.

Criminal defense attorney Rob McKinney, Attorney at Law monitors the civil aspect of your highway drug interdiction case while diligently attending to the criminal issues. Police officers working in tandem by sitting on the side of the road with binoculars are violating the rights of many individuals stopped randomly for no reason or, worse yet, because of their race.

God has brought you into our life, and we are forever thankful for you and all that you have done. Even if at times we may not say so. The picture included is of our daughter. We believe that it is she who will benefit the most from what you have done for us. Because of you, her father will be returned to her soon. That is why I would like to say thank you. People may not take the time to acknowledge the great work that you do or have done, but we want you to know that we do."

Thank You So Very Much - Nathan

Thank you so very much Rob,

My regret is that we met under such a circumstance, my second regret is that we did not seek you sooner. Joshua's father did something good, he introduced us to you. You have been so important to us, some good comes from every misfortune, we were able to know you, and appreciate your talent.

Maybe Josh will further his education, if so this money will help him.

We will never forget you,
Thank you Robin,

Attorney Rob was the attorney I hired to defend me for a DUI arrest I experienced in 2007. It took place in a TN county that is notorious for refusing to plead down DUI's to lesser charges under any circumstances, and for insisting on nothing less than at least the minimum sentencing requirements for this offense. (Williamson) Upon the very first viewing of my "arrest tape" that we were finally allowed to see - along with the arresting officer, Rob was able to spot the officer giving me a bad command, starting me out on the wrong foot. Rob, himself, has been through field sobriety courses, has achieved certification, and knows the correct procedures the officers should follow. When he pointed this out to him, the officer was evidently rattled enough to realize that he had even more to lose than just the case if it went to trial. This one factor influenced heavily the outcome of my case. Rob was able to help me plead to a lesser charge of reckless driving, with no jail time, and 6 months of probation. I thoroughly believe that if Rob had not brought this to the attention of the officer during our viewing of the tape, we might have had to go through an even more protracted period of having to wait, and then go through a stressful trial. My case, otherwise, was one that most people, with untrained eyes, would view as "borderline." I did not deserve to be penalized to the degree that the county of Williamson was set on, and Rob McKinney made sure that it did not happen. I highly, unreservedly, recommend Rob McKinney to assist you in your DUI case. He is fierce and fearless when it comes to supporting his clients. July 23, 2008
