For many people, getting pulled over can be a nerve-wracking experience, especially if the driver is unable to immediately recognize why he or she has been stopped by authorities. Some of these people become flustered and are unsure of what to do during the traffic stop. What should they do, or what should they avoid doing? Unfortunately, some individuals find themselves in this situation more often than others because of profiling. One man, originally from Georgia, who was tired of being profiled created an app meant to inform people accused of traffic offenses of their rights and give them tips on how to handle in certain situations.

Multiple violent crimes charges filed after shooting
Violence within families is a subject that is taken very seriously across the nation. If violence against a spouse or child is suspected, then it isn't unusual for violent crimes charges to be filed. Numerous charges relating to family violence will be filed against a man in Georgia after authorities responded to reports of gunfire.
Possible changes to drug possession laws
To many across the nation, it may seem like more and more people are being arrested for drug-related crimes. Drug possession charges regarding small amounts of marijuana have become particularly common. There are many people who believe that the punishment for these crimes is too extreme. In fact, some counties in Georgia are considering greatly reducing these punishments.
Police must have probable cause in a DUI stop
Depending on the facts of the circumstances surrounding a DUI arrest, the "probable cause" defense could be the most powerful tool in an accused person's arsenal. The basic premise of this defense involves the accused person's claim that the arresting officer did not have a valid reason to pull him or her over.
3 arrested for drug crimes in Georgia
Georgia police recently arrested three individuals after they seized large quantities of drugs from a truck. All three defendants have each been charged with marijuana trafficking. Only two of the defendants were charged with additional drug crimes. They were also charged with cocaine trafficking and possessing illegal firearms, as well as other drug-related charges.
