Search And Seizure Law

The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects citizens from unlawful and unwarranted searches and seizures. This means that law enforcement officials are prohibited from conducting a search and seizure of your body, home, or property unless:

1. They have probable cause to believe an illegal activity is occurring, or
2. They have a court-issued search warrant

If a police officer, state trooper, or a state or federal law enforcement official searches your property without a valid search warrant or without probable cause, any evidence they collect cannot be used against you in court.

If you have been arrested after a law enforcement official conducted a search and seizure of your home, body, or property, and you were consequently arrested, it's important to contact an experienced Las Vegas criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.
