If a controlled substance like MDMA is found in “plain view” it may be seized and used as evidence. However, drugs found in your vehicle or home without consent to search cannot be entered into evidence. If you can prove your 4th amendment right has been violated, and an unlawful search and seizure took place, this could help your chances of beating your charges.
An experienced criminal defense attorney would pressure the prosecutor to prove the Molly in question actually belongs to their client. Although simple, this is one of the most common defenses to any criminal charge.
