Search Warrants
As a general rule, the police need the warrant to search you, your home, or your vehicle. However, the courts have created many exceptions to this rule allowing for many ͞warrantless search prosecutions.
Nevertheless, an experienced lawyer is often able to suppress these warrantless searches and seizures when the requirements for the particular ͞exception have not been met. Even if a warrant to search is issued, sometimes an experienced lawyer is able to get the evidence suppressed by showing inaccuracies within the warrant, or some other procedural defect.
