Matthew J. Ruff Automobile Accidents Law Blog on Lawyers.com

Many americans are unsure of their rights when it comes to police searches at airports and other points of entry into the Country.  As a Los Angeles Airport Attorney I am routinely asked about what is the extent of law enforcement powers when it involves searches and other contacts when traveling.  Unfortunately, due to the 9-11 terrorist attack and similar horrific violent incidents, the criminal courts have given wide latitude to cops and security people when it is named in the sake of national security.

Criminal offenses such as DUI, drug possession, gun and weapons charges are very commonly filed against those detained at the airport in Los Angeles.  This is where a lawyer can intervene and negotiate a favorable final disposition.  Los Angeles Criminal Attorney Matthew Ruff can represent a client charged with public offenses that originate at the LAX airport.  Over the past fifteen years he has resolved all too many cases where his clients have been incarcerated by the Los Angeles Airport police.
