Can a police officer search me, my car and my home whenever and wherever he wants?
A police officer can always search you if: (1) you give permission or (2) they have a warrant based on probable cause. Specific rules apply to body searches, car searches, and searches of your home.
Evidence was taken from my home without a search warrant. Isn’t this illegal? Can the case against me be dismissed?
If evidence was obtained in violation of your constitutional rights, usually, the law requires the Court to disregard that evidence. Your lawyer will have to file a motion to suppress to ensure the prosecutor can’t use such evidence against you.
What happens if the police didn't read my rights to me?
Police must inform you of your rights before they start any custodial interrogation. If they get an incriminating statement from you without reading those rights, the statements should be suppressed.
After my arrest, I was told that I must appear at an arraignment and a preliminary hearing. Are these the same thing?
No, they are not the same. At the arraignment, the judge who will simply tell you officially of the charges, set bail, and ask if you want to hire a lawyer of your choosing.
