San Diego Search & Seizure Violations

San Diego DUI Lawyer

Encounters with the police can be intimidating experiences, as law enforcement officers are authority figures with the power to make arrests. Despite this authority, police officers are not allowed to search you, your property, or your residence without probable cause. Probable cause is a reason to believe a crime has been committed or is about to be committed. Even when there may be probable cause, a search warrant might be required before a search can be carried out. For example, if you have been stopped by the police officers that subsequently find drugs in your possession and charge you with driving under the influence of marijuana, there are reasons why such a search may have been illegal.

If you have been arrested as a result of being searched by the police, it is very important that you contact a San Diego DUI lawyer as soon as possible to protect your constitutional rights.
