Introduction
For over 25 years, Cameron Murray has been fighting a specific tactic used by Louisiana law enforcement along Interstate 20: unconstitutional narcotics checkpoint exit stops, where officers lie about checkpoint presence to induce drivers to take exits at locations like Camp Road or Holly Ridge, then search those vehicles without proper legal authority. Murray’s practice in Monroe has built a distinct reputation challenging these stops, and that specialized knowledge sits alongside a broader criminal defense practice covering everything from murder charges to RICO violations. Operating since 1994, the firm serves clients in Ouachita Parish and surrounding areas throughout Louisiana’s criminal court system. Reach the firm at 318-362-0057 for a free initial consultation.
