What is the name of your state? Tennessee
Ok my cousin and his ex are going thru a custody case at the moment. Last time going to court judge orders 1 week with mom 1 week with dad all summer until they go back to court.
Today daughter calls mom and says she found a bag of marijuana in her dads drawer in his room ( why she was looking thru the dresser I don't know) coincidently thier court date is next week. Mom tells daughter to call police and tell them what she found and then mom drives up there to get daughter. Police go into his apartment and retreive pot from the child who had put it in her room when she found it. Police then go to his work and tell him he has two choices, go to jail or plead guilty and accept a ticket for possesion of drug paraphenelia
Now is this legal search and seizure? Can the police get permission to enter by a 12 year old? Btw my grandmother was there at the time but she is 87 and had no idea what was going on till police walked into the house.
Also is him accepting the ticket really a guilty plea and he cannot go to court and fight it?
