Illegal Search and Seizure – Georgia

One of the most common mistakes law enforcement makes in a criminal investigation involves illegal search and seizure. Under the fourth amendment, police must have “probable cause” to enter your home or search your vehicle. If law enforcement agents do not have probable cause or the appropriate warrant to search your premises, an illegal search and seizure has likely taken place.

If you are facing a charge based on an illegal search and seizure, hire a criminal defense attorney who will fight aggressively to prove that law enforcement over-stepped their bounds.

Evidence Against You May Have Been Obtained Illegally
Georgia illegal search and seizure cases often present an opportunity to challenge law enforcement procedure; if a skillful criminal defense attorney can prove that a search was illegal, any evidence obtained as a result of that search can be thrown out in court. This can mean that if you are facing 30 years for a drug crime and a criminal defense attorney proves that your home was entered without probable cause, then you could potentially be exonerated on all charges because that evidence can no longer be used in court against you.
