Charged with Domestic Violence: What To Do?

Edward Reyes, Esq / October 31, 2019

What happens if somebody has caused domestic violence to somebody else and somebody calls? What things do you look at to help them if the attacker or the alleged attacker called you or called the firm, how could they be represented? Let’s say it did happen. Let’s say it’s a fraudulent, well, not fraudulent, but let’s say it’s a bogus claim if we can hear both sides of that the defense. Well, I take all comers, which is to say if somebody comes into my office and says, “I’ve been charged with domestic violent battery,” this question will never come out of my mouth: “Did you commit the domestic violence battery?” So, some people are in a position where they did, and some people are in a position where the alleged victim, or maybe not even the alleged victim, maybe a third party, is pressing the claim for some ulterior reason. This happens for all sorts of reasons: to gain an advantage of child support, to gain an advantage in divorces, and at the end of the day, there’s always issues approval. We really want to know, what I want to know isn’t whether or not anything happened, but could the state prove it? Finding the Evidence So, what I want to know is what evidence is there that a battery occurred? And remember, in Florida, we have a very powerful standard ground law, so the question is: A) Was the alleged victim battered? and B) If the alleged victim was battered, was it a case of mutual combat or self-defense on the part of the defendant? And remember, the state must overcome that, so in my experience, it’s very difficult frequently for the state to overcome that. Domestic violence charges are some of the most common, probably outside of traffic charges, they’re the most common misdemeanor charges that we see. Domestic violence charges are very common and the reason for that is because law enforcement feels they’re in an obligation to make an arrest when they’re called, so they’re very aggressive in making the arrest and once an arrest has been made, the case takes on a life of its own. What Needs to Be Done? So, we get these a lot and they’re frequently very marginal cases. Now, again, we guarantee nothing. A case could be opened and shut, and if that’s the case, my job is really to get you the best deal possible. Frequently in these cases, diversion is available. If the state can prove it, you can take a diversion.

Speak Directly to Me, At No Cost, Today 813.421.3411 If the state can’t, but I’m not going to push any client to take any deal at all, because frequently, these cases are very marginal and a lot of them end up getting dropped by the state.

Car Search, FAQ, Legal

Should I Allow an Officer to Search My Car?

Edward Reyes, Esq / October 31, 2019

A routine traffic stop can turn into something much more serious in seconds. Before you say a word — or let an officer open a single door — you need to know exactly what your rights under Florida law are, because what you do (or don’t do) in the next two minutes can follow you for years. TL;DR — QUICK SUMMARY You have the right under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to refuse consent to a warrantless vehicle search — and you should always exercise that right politely. In Florida, officers generally need a warrant, your consent, or a recognized legal exception (such as probable cause or a search incident to arrest) to search your vehicle lawfully. Saying “I do not consent to a search” is not an admission of guilt — it is a protected legal right, and courts recognize the difference. Even if an officer searches your car over your objection, do not physically resist; instead, stay calm, preserve your objection on the record, and contact an attorney immediately. If a traffic stop or vehicle search led to an accident, injury, or civil rights violation, you may have legal options — call 833-4 BAD DAY to speak with The Reyes Firm today.

Contact Us Now 4th Amendment protects against unreasonable searches U.S. Constitution 2 Years Florida statute of limitations for personal injury Fla. Stat. § 95.11(3)(a) $0 Cost to consult with The Reyes Firm Contingency fee basis No Consent required — you always have the right to refuse Florida & Federal Law Should you allow an officer to search your car in Florida? No — in almost every situation, you should politely but clearly decline consent to a vehicle search. This is not about hiding anything. It is about exercising a constitutional right that exists precisely to protect innocent people from overreach. The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures, and Florida courts consistently uphold your right to refuse consent. Officers are trained to ask for consent precisely because consent is the easiest way for them to conduct a search without a warrant, probable cause, or any other legal justification. When you say “yes,” you waive your protections entirely. When you say “I do not consent to a search” calmly and clearly, you preserve your rights and put the burden back on the officer to justify the search through a valid legal exception. The most important thing to understand: refusing to consent is not suspicious. Courts have repeatedly ruled that exercising your Fourth Amendment rights cannot be used as evidence of guilt. You are doing exactly what the law entitles you to do. ⚠️ Deadline Warning: Under Florida Statute § 95.11(3)(a), you have two years from the date of any injury — including one that occurs during or after a traffic stop — to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline almost always means losing your right to recover anything. Don’t wait to call a lawyer. When can a Florida officer legally search your car without your consent? Florida law and federal constitutional law recognize several exceptions that allow officers to search a vehicle without your consent and without a warrant. Knowing these helps you understand when an officer is acting within the law — and when they may not be. Probable cause. If an officer has specific, articulable facts suggesting your vehicle contains evidence of a crime — including smelling marijuana (though Florida’s marijuana laws have evolved significantly), seeing contraband in plain view, or a drug-detecting K-9 alerting to your vehicle — they may have grounds to search without your consent. Search incident to a lawful arrest. If you are lawfully arrested, officers may search the area within your immediate reach inside the vehicle. However, this authority is narrower than many people assume after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Arizona v. Gant (2009). Plain view doctrine. If an officer can clearly see contraband or evidence of a crime from a lawful vantage point — like through your window — they may seize it and that observation may justify a broader search. Inventory search. If your vehicle is being lawfully impounded, officers may conduct a standardized inventory search of its contents before towing. Exigent circumstances. In rare situations involving imminent danger, the destruction of evidence, or active pursuit of a fleeing suspect, officers may be authorized to act without a warrant. The key point: if none of these exceptions applies, the officer needs either a warrant or your voluntary consent. If you did not give consent and no valid exception existed, any evidence found may be suppressed under the exclusionary rule. 💡 Did You Know? Florida has seen significant legal activity around the question of what constitutes “voluntary” consent during a traffic stop. Courts evaluate factors like whether the person was in custody, whether they were told they could refuse, and the officer’s tone and demeanor. Simply feeling pressured to agree — even without an explicit threat — can be enough to challenge the voluntariness of consent in court. Watch: Should You Let Police Search Your Car in Florida? What should you actually say if an officer asks to search your car? Keep it simple, keep it calm, and keep it consistent. The exact words matter less than the clarity and composure of your refusal. Something like: “Officer, I do not consent to a search of my vehicle.” That’s it. You do not need to explain yourself, raise your voice, or argue about the law. Here is what you should and should not do during a traffic stop search request: Do remain calm and keep your hands visible at all times. Do clearly state that you do not consent to a search, using those words specifically. Do comply with lawful orders (like producing your license, registration, and

Can a Cop Make Me Stay?

Edward Reyes, Esq / October 31, 2019

Now on that same thing, because a lot of people out there they feel like they can’t leave. Law enforcement, they have more power over the person they’re pulling over as far as authority goes. A lot of times they come to the car and many people are scared. So, they feel like they can’t tell a cop no. What would happen if they tell a law enforcement officer, “No, you can’t search my car”? What can that law enforcement officer do? There are two things. One thing could be they can probably try to get a search warrant or if you can talk to us through that. The second thing is, what happens if that client, that person, says, “No, you cannot search my car”? I know that’s a fear for many people. Well, this is where the rubber meets the road or where theory and practice diverge because people feel like they are frequently overawed by the presence of a police officer, or it makes them very angry. Many people are very angered by being stopped by a police officer and interrogated and subject to search by a police officer. In either of these cases, people are going to make the wrong decision. If the person is overawed by the police officer, the person’s going to answer any questions, consent to anything, when it’s not necessary. Alternately, when people get upset, they quickly escalate the situation and before they know it, they get charged with a resisting a police officer. Now, it’s crazy to think this, but there are frequently resisting police officer charges with no other charges. So, the question becomes, what were they resisting? Well, if you ever watched any of these videos, you can YouTube escalation with a police officer. Things can escalate very quickly. That’s why always be polite. There’s no reason to escalate the situation. Officers frequently escalate the situation themselves.

Speak Directly to Me, At No Cost, Today 813.421.3411 No matter how upset they get, you have to stay calm, which is a very difficult thing to do. Your fight or flight reaction is clearly kicking in.

Drugs: Common Ways to Get Busted

Edward Reyes, Esq / October 31, 2019

Drugs, as far as felonies go are probably the most by wide margin common felony that people are charged with. Drug cases can come up in any number of ways. The most common ways that drug cases begin are with a traffic stop or sometimes with an arrest for some other issue. So, either there’s going to be a traffic stop for some reason, it could be as simple as a taillight out, a problem with the registration, and then something gives rise to some sort of suspicion in the law enforcement officer. Tampa personal injury lawyer Edward Reyes represents people in Tampa and Hillsborough County, Florida who have suffered an injury in an incident or accident type of accident. Speak Directly to Me, At No Cost, Today 813.421.3411 The smell of burnt marijuana is classic. But it can just be something as simple as furtive movement inside the car. It can be something as simple as nervous behavior, maybe some sort of indications of a DUI that doesn’t quite rise to the level of the full DUI investigation. But in some way or another, there’s a search of the vehicle and contraband is found either in the vehicle or on the driver or passenger. The other way that drug cases come up frequently is an arrest for something else like a domestic violence arrest or an arrest on a warrant or an arrest for driving on a suspended driver’s license. One of these other very common things, even child support arrest. And then drugs are found either on the person or in the vehicle with them. So, these are the most common ways that these drug cases start. Call us at 813.421.3411 for more information. (Transcript from the video, transcribed but not reviewed)

Why Auto Insurance Companies Question You After A Car Accident?

Edward Reyes, Esq / October 30, 2019

Today’s topic is about knowing that no one is going to interrogate you like your own insurance company. But in reality, the bigger insurance companies don’t do this, they do not do this as much as small insurance companies. However, the smaller insurance companies and I’ll just throw it out there, Windhaven, Ocean Harbor, Infinity, they are the bigger ones that do this the most. The reason why is because they like to collect premiums and they don’t like to pay out whatever they need to payout. Recorded Statement So, just put them on blast, but whenever you get in a car accident, or whenever you’re injured, whatever the case is, they want you to do a recorded statement. With the recorded statement they’ll ask you a series of questions. While these smaller companies, they try to not pay you as far as your benefits. So they’re looking for anything they can ask you on the recorded statement and the problem is that you have to give the recorded statement by law because you have a contract with these people and if you do not comply with the contract basically they can drop your benefits. But they’re trying to drop your benefits regardless. So, the idea here is that they’re trying to figure out if you said something in your application and reality is something different. So, while you fill out your application you say a couple of things like there’s a questionnaire and things like that. But then whenever you are involved in an accident they’ll go over painstakingly, every single item. Where do you live? Who do you live with? What did you do when you were in second grade? They go so deep because they’re trying to catch you in some sort of discrepancy. It could be a small technical error and then they cancel your policy and they call it fraudulent misrepresentation. But they call it that and basically the reason why they call it that is under fraud, they can cancel your policy because it’s under the pretenses of fraud. And in fraud voids contracts. And by voiding your contract they can void your policy. And they can void the payment. They can make it seem like you never had insurance ever with that company. So that’s why they call it Fraudulent Misrepresentation. Fraudulent Misrepresentation It literally could be that you had somebody that doesn’t have a car, doesn’t drive, doesn’t do anything like that, but they might be like 14 years old that lives in the house. Well, they’ll say, “He lied to us about it, therefore we’re dropping your policy.” “Oh, you stayed at your dad’s house for 3 months and not at this house, oh you don’t qualify for your policy.” So, they are looking for all these little minute reasons to drop you whenever they can and this happens again with the small insurance companies for the most part, and they really will go through this long, long extended process. I’ve realized that because whenever we’re trying to do, when I deal with these smaller companies a lot of times, those, and I call it, it’s not a deposition, it’s not an examination of law, but they’re almost like those in-depth questionnaires that I can’t even call and talk. I can object sometimes, but it’s not like in court that I can object a few different things. They really will go down so deep just to find out one little thing to drop you. Again I mean, if they can figure out that somewhere on the application, somewhere there is a mis-rep- there’s some sort of discrepancy, could be small whatever, they’ll say, “Listen, you committed fraud”, which is not true, “but in the pretenses of the application you committed fraud, therefore, you should, we should not pay your policy”. Tampa personal injury lawyer Edward Reyes represents people in Tampa and Hillsborough County, Florida who have suffered an injury in an incident or accident type of accident. Speak Directly to Me, At No Cost, Today – (813) 421-3411. So, that really does happen on a regular basis. We will deal with that in the smaller companies where when I talk to them, instead of having a conversation that should only last 10 minutes, maybe 15 minutes max cause they should be asking just about the actual accident itself, the incident itself, not about all this extra stuff that’s they’re trying to cover up, or not cover up I didn’t mean to say that word. Not all these things that they’re trying to bring up. But the reason why they bring up all this extra stuff, these smaller companies, is to avoid paying the policy. They’re looking for discrepancies. So, nobody’s going to investigate you harder than your own insurance company, depending on your insurance company, to try to cancel the coverage that you’ve been paying for god-knows how long, for how many years, for how much.
