- Q. is 16-15-355 a tier 1 or tier 2 offense? i can not find any info in south carolina law.
- A: The answer would depend on what day of 1997 the person began registering. This is a tier II offense and the person must wait 25 years from the start of registration to apply for removal since the Powell v Keel case and the law change in May 2022.
- Q. Can evidence collected from someone's home in south Carolina be field tested out of the accused person sight
- A: Assuming that law enforcement had the right to obtain the item(s) from a home, it depends on the type of item seized. In the example of alleged narcotics, law enforcement must send it to a lab for testing. Field testing also depends on the alleged item seized. Even if an item is field tested it must still be sent to a lab for testing and they must produce a "drug report."
- Q. Chances w/Dui blew <.10 urine + thc &methadone had rx & been 8-10 hr prior to stop admitrd to smoking day befor
- A: DUI in SC depends on a number of factors and this part of the law is very nuanced. There is also a deadline to file certain documents such as the request for an administrative hearing. When dealing with substances, there are "therapeutic levels" for certain substances. This may require an expert to review the chemical analysis of what law enforcement claims. An experienced lawyer should be able to help guide the arrestee through this murky part of our legal system.
