Seizure Litigation in Solano County

Protecting Your Fourth Amendment Rights

The Fourth Amendment is supposed to protect us against unreasonable searches and seizures and gives us the right to expect our privacy to be secure. In order for a law enforcement officer to legally search and seize our property, there must be probable cause. If there is no probable cause and your property was seized illegally, your rights under the Constitution have been violated.

A search warrant is not always necessary for a police officer to conduct a search. If you have been arrested, an officer may be able to search you. A Solano County criminal defense lawyer will be able to review all of the details of the search and seizure you have been subjected to and can help determine if it was a violation of your rights. In the event that you were charged with a criminal offense based on an illegal search and seizure, an attorney should be retained on an immediate basis to help fight for your rights.
