Illegal Search and Seizure

Los Angeles Drug Crimes Defense Attorney

When a person is under investigation for a drug crime, the police may conduct a search and seizure to look for the evidence needed to press charges. However, the police are required to comply with both state and federal search and seizure laws, which state that they must have either a valid search warrant or reasonable cause to conduct a search. When the police violate the law by conducting an illegal search and seizure, any evidence found during the search will be thrown out of court. In cases in which an illegal search or seizure took place, your attorney can motion to have the charges dropped and the case dismissed.

Search & Seizure Under the 4th Amendment

Under the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, you are protected from unreasonable and unlawful searches and seizures by both the state and federal government. The 4th Amendment states:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated; and no Warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

If you were arrested or charged with a drug crime after the police conducted a search of you or your property, it’s to your advantage to speak with an experienced Los Angeles defense attorney as soon as possible. An attorney who has experience defending clients against drug charges will know what to look for to determine if the police violated your rights. If it is discovered that the police were in violation of state and federal search and seizure laws, your attorney can take the necessary action to address the situation and motion to have the evidence thrown or the charges dropped altogether.
