During a search of the vehicle, the officer located a large amount of cocaine. The vehicle was traveling from the West Coast to the Detroit area.
Officers from the JNET and the MSP First District Hometown Security Team were requested to assist with the vehicle search. In total, 99 kilograms of cocaine was recovered. The JNET is handling the follow-up investigation. Read more at michigan.gov.
A Request for Discovery is an information request you would make to the prosecutor
Ask usually the District Attorney, for relevant information related to your case. If you were cited for speeding, you may want information on the kind of speed measurement device the officer used to clock your vehicle, or the training records for the officer that measured your speed. A simple written request, sent via registered mail to the District Attorney's office, is usually sufficient to exercise this inquiry.
