FAQs

In my neighborhood the police will just stop you on the street for no reason and search you. Is there anything I can do about this?
I got stopped by a traffic cop for a busted tail light and then, without my permission, he searched my car and found pot in the trunk. At the hearing he said he knew I had drugs because he saw seeds on the floor and they were in "plain view", but the drugs in the trunk weren’t. Can a lawyer get the drugs excluded from evidence as illegally seized?
Do I have to give consent to a law enforcement officer to search my car?
Can the police ever search me without a warrant?
Can the police just stop me on the street and search me for no reason?
If the cops have a warrant to search my house, can they look anywhere?
