A large percentage of Henry County drug cases originate from I-71 traffic stops. Officers frequently use minor traffic infractions as a pretext to stop vehicles and search for drugs. Clark + Harris challenges these stops aggressively — if the stop or search was unconstitutional, the evidence must be suppressed under the exclusionary rule.

Consent and warrant issues — Was your consent to search truly voluntary?
