Search warrants are a common part of criminal investigations by the police. When law enforcement believes that evidence of a crime can be found in a person’s home, vehicle, or business, they have the ability to ask a judge for permission to conduct a search.
The police rarely give advanced warning before executing a search warrant. In the aftermath of having a search warrant, it can be difficult to know what to do next. Having an attorney you can rely on in these situations is invaluable. Your attorney could help you protect your rights and ensure the government does not overreach when it comes to the search or seizure.
Just because the police have a warrant to search your property does not mean they have a right to ask you questions. If law enforcement attempts to interrogate you during the course of a search, remember that you are under no obligation to comply.
