As Americans, we are protected "against unreasonable searches and seizures" under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Search warrants are not to be issued for less than "probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized". If a judge finds that a police officer or other law enforcement agent violates an individual's Fourth Amendment rights, then any and all evidence they collect as a result of the illegal search will be excluded at trial. This is what is known as the "exclusionary rule".
If you feel that your rights have been violated, contact the law office of Andrew Farmer. We want to help.
