Our client was outside talking to some friends when Chicago Police officers came up to his car and started opening up his gas tank lid. They claimed to have found drugs and then searched the trunk where they found a gun which belonged to our client’s brother. At a motion to suppress, I proved to the judge that the police had no right to search our client’s car. The case was DISMISSED.
