Dallas Illegal Search & Seizure Lawyer

Protecting Your Constitutional Rights in Dallas

If police suspect you have committed a drug crime, they may engage in a search and seizure activity to examine your property to see whether there is necessary evidence. In order to do this, the police officials have to be in compliance with both state and federal laws, which requires that they have a valid reason for doing so.

Under the law, law enforcement has to have at least one of the following:

• Your explicit permission
• A legally binding search warrant
• Probable cause, which is reason to believe a crime has been committed

You Are Protected by the Constitution

Unfortunately, the American legal system is filled with instances of police officers not following the process when searching and seizing property. The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution protects people from "unreasonable search and seizure." Police are not allowed under any circumstance to conduct a search and seizure unless it is in a lawful manner.

If you believe you have been a victim of an illegal search and seizure, make sure you seek out legal counsel from a Dallas criminal defense attorney right away.
