Protecting Your Constitutional Rights
Constitutional laws protect the rights of citizens from unlawful police procedure. Police must have probable cause to search a person, vehicle or home. They must also follow the rules of search and seizure. If the police do not handle these aspects of a drug case correctly, the prosecution may not be able to prove its case.
The defense lawyers at the Berry Law Firm skillfully examine police procedure and expose weaknesses in the prosecution's case. We have represented hundreds of clients charged with state and federal drug crimes. Call our office at 888-822-7079 to schedule an appointment with our Nebraska illegal search and seizure attorneys.
Examining Police Procedure
A critical step in a drug crime defense is to investigate all aspects of the arrest. The first question we ask is, "Did the police have probable cause to search you?" If the police did not have probable cause to make a traffic stop or search you, your home or your vehicle, we may be able to get evidence suppressed or charges dismissed.
We will also examine the search and seizure that occurred. Police are generally not allowed to execute a warrantless search in locations where a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy. If an illegal search takes place, any evidence obtained will not be admissible in court.
If your constitutional rights were violated, we can file a motion to suppress the evidence or to reduce or dismiss the charges. To make an appointment to discuss your case, call the Lincoln defense attorneys for illegal traffic stops at 888-822-7079 or contact us online.
