Salt Lake City Illegal Search and Seizure Attorney

About Search and Seizure

You have rights concerning search and seizure even if you are under suspicion of driving while under the influence. The Fourth Amendment was written to protect you from unlawful and unreasonable search and seizure. The Fourth 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 be issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or things to be seized."

All searches which have been done without a warrant are unconstitutional. Law enforcement may question you or threaten you, but they are not lawfully permitted to search your property without a warrant. Sometimes a police officer will try to claim that he/she had probable cause when it was merely a "feeling" or "hunch". In such a case, with a skilled lawyer, it is possible to dismiss the evidence against you due to the fact that it was obtained illegally. Speak with a Salt Lake City drug crimes lawyer immediately if you believe you have been searched illegally.
