Highway Drug Interdiction in Nashville, TN
Our Drug Crime Attorneys Expose Racial Profiling & Unlawful Stops
Police officers are often perched in strategic areas around Interstate 40, Interstate 24, or Interstate 65. Their goal is to pull over cars that they suspect may contain drugs. May McKinney tenaciously represents clients who have been charged with drug crimes as a result of the practice of highway drug interdiction, which seems more focused on generating revenue than stopping the drug trade.
For a free consultation about a drug case, call us at (615) 265-6383. We serve clients in Nashville and across Brentwood, Mount Juliet, Franklin, and the surrounding areas in Tennessee.
Working to Exclude Illegally Obtained Evidence
Many times, reasons for randomly pulling a car over are manufactured by the police officer and are considered more of a passive response. For probable cause to stop a car and perform a search and seizure by a police officer or dog "trained" to find drugs, there must have been a valid suspicion of drug possession. Our Nashville drug crime defense attorneys focus on the motivations of that initial traffic stop and move to suppress any evidence obtained in the absence of probable cause.
Cutting-Edge Defense in Civil Forfeiture Proceedings
Traffic stops that are random and drug arrests that result from happenstance are a violation of your constitutional rights. Sadly, some police officers engage in a form of racial profiling, targeting one specific race and pulling them over in the hopes of finding drugs and money. By seizing the car and any cash and starting the process of a civil forfeiture proceeding, they are infusing revenue into their own police department.
As criminal defense attorneys, we at May McKinney monitor the civil rights aspects of our clients’ highway drug interdiction cases while diligently attending to the criminal issues. Police officers working in tandem by sitting on the side of the road with binoculars are violating the rights of many individuals stopped randomly for no reason or, worse yet, because of their race.
For more information or to schedule an appointment with an experienced lawyer regarding highway drug interdiction that resulted in an illegal stop and seizure, contact May McKinney at (615) 265-6383.

""Do yourself a favor, make Rob your flavor.""I was visiting friends in Nashville and sightseeing around the Titan stadium when about 8 officers drew their weapons on me from a good 100+ feet away, demanding that I freeze and put my hands in the air. My first response was to pull out my knife while i tried to gain focus on who and why this was happening. Is this a joke? Am i being robbed possibly? That was the thoughts racing through my mind. Apparently, someone had called and said someone with a backpack threatened to blow up the stadium, WOW! I understand these officers were doing their job but after they searched me and found I was innocent they still charged me with two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer and a few others for good measure. My lawyer Rob Mckinney knew i was being honest and meant no one harm, but I was really scared that it may turn out very differently due to the circumstances. He not only got my charges dismissed but my record expunged as well. I'm forever grateful and would recommend this legal team for anyone in need of a most stellar lawyer. Thanks again Rob and the rest of the team.- Eric A

"The Only Choice for the Best Results"The case came during my senior year of college. It was the scariest moment of my entire life. I felt my career was over before it even started. I chose McKinney Law Firm because they are the Best of the Best. To have a prepared and knowledgeable defense, in a room where you feel guilty until proven innocent, is invaluable. Roger T. May's no non-sense approach was deliberate and strategic. The results of the case were better than I could have ever imagined. After the case was over, I went on to land a lucrative job, travel the world, and have had a very successful career. I truly believe McKinney Law Firm gave me a second chance at life. I am forever grateful for the team's care, urgency, persistence, and professionalism during a very difficult time. "Because I knew you, I have been changed for good." Thank you.- -Satisfied Client

"If your looking for a great lawyer, stop looking & hire these guys!"I can’t thank Rob Mckinney enough for all of his help with my case . I had never been in trouble before, & was very leery on paying for a lawyer, but from the moment I hired them, until my case was over, I never regretted my decision to have them represent me. Both Rob & Shyanne took every one of my phone calls, & answered every question that I ever could possibly come up. I was an emotional mess from the get go, and probably asked 1000 more questions than necessary, but they took the time to go through absolutely everything with me, and never made me feel like I was wasting their time or that I was inferior to them. Their knowledge, wisdom and guidance was so comforting & helped me with the stress of the legal process. My case took 2 years & 13 court appearances, so it was not an easy journey, but they made me feel at ease the entire time, & in the end, the charges were dropped. Thank you ! - Lisa F (aka super satisfied client)- Lisa F
