Los Angeles Search and Seizure Attorney

Fourth Amendment: Illegal Search & Seizures

Have you been the victim of an illegal search and seizure? Under the Fourth Amendment, you have the right to privacy and are protected from unreasonable arrests. In order to search your vehicle, home, or business, law enforcement must have a valid search warrant. If they do not, any evidence found that incriminates you will be taken out of your case. The same is true for arrests. If there was not a valid arrest warrant issued when police took you into custody, any evidence or statements you made will not be able to be used against you in court.

In some cases, the law enforcement officer may believe that they had probably cause for an arrest or search. In order for this to be true, they must be able to prove that a crime was more than likely to have occurred. The team at the Law Offices of Roberts Schwartz understands that the rights of the accused are often violated in the searches and arrests. If drug paraphernalia or drugs were discovered on your person or property, talk to a Los Angeles drug crime lawyer from the firm. They could examine your case to see if the evidence against you was illegally obtained.
