Drugs could have been planted on your person, in your residence or in your car or truck. Even if law enforcement invaded your apartment on the strength of a warrant, that warrant must have what’s called particularity — targeting a specific item, controlled substance or drug paraphernalia. Authorities are also forbidden to “overseize,” meaning they cannot take more than what they are looking for.
There are so many ways that a drug crime arrest can go wrong from a police procedure standpoint — and all of them can work in your favor.
Were you the victim of illegal search and seizure? Were you subject to asset forfeiture — police seizing possessions that are rightfully yours in the course of their investigation?
