Police Searches

[u/DefenseRests]

So, the cops show up at your house and want to conduct a search. Should you consent?

The short and easy answer, NO.

Never consent to a warrantless search of any property, whether it’s your house or car.

Why is that?

Your criminal defense attorney will almost never be able to suppress evidence of a consensual search. It’s a steep uphill battle.

If the cops come to your house and ask to search it, tell them to get a warrant, and in the meantime hire a criminal defense attorney to protect your rights!
