What You Need to Know About Search Warrants

Updated: Oct 21

Understanding your rights when it comes to search warrants is crucial. A search warrant gives police the legal right to search your property, but it doesn’t mean they have unlimited power.


Here’s what you should know:


Scope of the Warrant: A warrant must specify the location to be searched and the items they are looking for. If police exceed this scope, any evidence they find might be inadmissible.


Your Right to Review: You have the right to see the warrant before the search begins. Check that it’s signed by a judge and that the details match your property.


Challenging an Unlawful Search: If the warrant was obtained based on false information or used improperly, we can file a motion to suppress the evidence, which could significantly weaken the prosecution’s case.


If you believe that your rights were violated during a search, it’s critical to speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Contact Brinkley Law today at 317-643-1813 for a consultation, and let us help you protect your rights and challenge any unlawful evidence.
