Drug Defense Attorney Lawrenceville

Question: The Confidential Informant stated that it observed several people inside and outside the residence and that there was marijuana throughout the residence in plain view. For these reasons an other persons provision is requested. NO Knock Provision

....Does the fact that there were people or drugs present in a controlled buy justify a No Knock Warrant issued by the magistrate in Georgia?

Answer: This is a fascinating question for this reason. Let us assume that I vehemently maintain that the judge overstepped his discretion in signing a "no knock" warrant. What can you do with that information? Absolutely nothing. First, either there is no attorney on the case, in which case the law will not be argued by lay folks (i.e. non-lawyers). Or second, there is an attorney on the case and he/she does NOT know the law, which means my telling him/her the law is meaningless because he/she must still cite case law in order to defend his/her position
