Credible Search Warrant Attorneys
in Kalamazoo, MI

It is in your best interest to speak to an attorney as soon as possible after being served with a warrant. An attorney could review the terms of the warrant to ensure the police comply.

Obtaining a search warrant cannot be done by the police alone. Law enforcement must go to a judge and provide them with probable cause that a search will turn up evidence of a crime. Only then will a warrant be issued.

There are times when the police can search your car or your person without a warrant. For example, they can search your vehicle after your arrest to inventory your belongings.

If the police do not have a warrant to search your person or property, they often ask for permission to conduct a voluntary search. In that situation, you are under no obligation to consent to a search. Once the police have a warrant, they have the authority to search your property against your consent.

If the police conduct an illegal search or seizure, any evidence collected during the course of that search could be thrown out of your criminal case. In some situations, this can lead to a dismissal of the case entirely.

You are obligated under the law to comply with a search warrant. The failure to do so could result in additional criminal charges.
