In reading the original post, I come up with a lot of questions. The first being the reason for the stop. PWN gave some great advice. Knowledgeable and experienced representation is never a bad idea, or inexpensive . That may not result in the desired outlcome but at least you tried. On the other hand, if the Officer lacked reasonable suspicion to make that stop, she may walk away with nothing. You won't know til you try. No doubt this young lady is learning a tough life lesson. That's unfortunate. I feel worse for the man who lost his daughter though.
Deadlines and commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out...
