"One very ingenious young lawyer out of California did just that to give herself a competitive edge. Allison Margolin, a newly minted Harvard Law School graduate, who concentrates in criminal law, is very passionate about the decriminalization of marijuana. Her video highlights not just her criminal practice, but has testimonials of her and a client on the courthouse steps. The video allows her to showcase her mission through a medium her client base would most likely use." Connecticut Law Review
"Framed Skunk Magazine features and Us Weekly covers adorn her office walls alongside diplomas from Columbia and Harvard Law. She's been profiled in the Los Angeles Times and keeps a personal blog that covers everything from social and legal commentary to musings on Paris Hilton and Playboy. You can even watch YouTube videos of her expounding on why all drugs should be legalized." Helen Jupiter-Blogger.LA.com
"Allison Margolin, if you read articles written on her, projects nothing less than who she is, irreverent quirky, passionate and committed, well-educated, gutsy, and weaned on criminal law. And her 'brand' shows all of that." Build A Solo Practice, LLC
I've really enjoyed reading about what you've done with yourself from college, right up to now. I also think your networking/marketing prowess is what pisses off your detractors most. YouTube? A stroke of genius!!! They'll make a movie about you eventually! But you already know that right?" Cannazine - Myspace friend
"Been watching you on you tube AMAZZZZZZIIINNNGGG
The best LAWYER - this world needs such people like you to bring justice back RESPECT be blessed and wish you lots of positive energy. STAY STRONG ALLISON." Ash - Tribe.net

Uh, I don't know if that's correct. If an officer comes up to you and asks to search, you can refuse. The officer has to have some sort of reasonable suspicion to stop you, and even then he/she can only pat you down (presumably for weapoons). You need a lot more to constitute a 148 (resisting). Without an arrest, 148 usually occurs when an officer is trying to do his job (clear people away from a scene, for instance), and someone interferes with his/her job - then you're impeding the officer's execution of his duties. But a 148 for just refusing to be searched, without some serious justification? Nah. Besides, no jury is going to convict someone who refuses to be searched - unless they find something.... :-)
First of all, I was talking about the reality of a person on the street where an officer wants to search you. Of course, legally the officer must have articulable and reasonable suspicion. However, simply because an officer does not have legal justification does not mean he/she will not search anyway. I am giving advice for what to do on the street or in your car if an officer wants to search.
