My boyfriend and I got into a physical fight in my vehicle. I was purposely honking the horn to get help, the police were called. The police were going to let us go until my boyfriend mentioned something about drugsd in the car. The cop asked if he could search my vehicle. I did not give him permission to search. Another cop them came up to me and said I was under arrest for disorderly conduct. They then searched my car and found some meth. I went to jail for disorderly conduct and they seized my car. This happened aug 27th almost 3 months ago and I still dont have my car. I have since went to court on the disorderly conduct and it was dismissed beiing I was a victim. The drugs still have not been charged against me. Can you tell me if they can still charge me for the drugs since they violated my 4th amendment right to search my vehicle? Can I get my vehicle back? The only reason they put me under arrest was because I didnt give them consent to search. Is it to bad so sad they found the drugs they can still charge me or can I fight ther fact that they violated my rights to search my vehicle?? How long do they have to charge me with the drugs and why haventy they charged me yet??Does anyone know if they can leagally keep my car or what I need to do to get it back?

They can charge you for just about anything but that doesn't mean they will and that it will result in a conviction if they do. In Texas I think they have 7 years but I am not sure about the state you live in. If the search is questionable they may not file it. After 2 years you probably should stop worrying about it. In the mean time get cleaned up because the way you have lived your life since the arrest will make at least some difference to the courts.
