🐶 Zeus Fact: Did you know that just like my Zeus protects our office, the 4th Amendment protects you from unlawful searches?
Police generally need a warrant, probable cause, or your consent to search your property. If a police officer is asking permission to do something, such as to search your vehicle, that usually means they do not have the legal right to do so unless you consent to it. Generally speaking, it`s never in your best interest to consent to anything.
Evidence obtained through illegal searches can be suppressed in court-a strategy I`ve successfully used to get many cases dismissed.
