The Motion To Suppress Evidence In A Federal Drug
Case
2

• Everyone facing criminal and federal charges is
  at great risk of getting incarcerated. However,
  in order to convict a defendant of a crime, the
  federal prosecutor has to prove every element of
  the offense, without a single reasonable doubt.
• Once in the courtroom, the defendant will be
  faced with a series of questions and many
  different pieces of evidence will be presented.
  If any of them proves that the defendant
  committed a crime, he or she may face years
  behind bars.
• However, there is one thing that the defense
  attorneys can do. Here is everything you need to
  know about the motion to suppress the evidence in
  a federal drug case.

Illegally Obtained Evidence
If the police officers found or seized the
evidence in violation of the defendants
constitutional rights, the defense attorneys
could call for a motion to suppress the evidence.
They have the right to suppress the evidence if
it has been obtained illegally, and deem it not
admissible. The court has to take into
consideration that if the evidence is obtained
illegally, even though it may conclude the trial,
it cannot be used against the defendant in any
way.

This law was established roughly 60 years ago by
the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS),
and to this day, it has saved many individuals
from a certain life behind the bars.
If you have been charged with possession or
illegal distribution of drugs, your best shot of
getting your sentence lowered is by having an
experienced and seasoned attorney in your corner
someone like Los Angeles federal crime attorneys.
Give a call as soon as you are able to, and
someone will get in touch and come to visit you
if you have been placed behind the bars.

The Violation of the 4th Amendment

• When an officer conducts a search of the
  defendants home without the right warrant, that
  search immediately violates the defendants 4th
  Amendment right (against unreasonable search and
  seizure). The only time when an officer may
  conduct a warrantless search is

6

• If the evidence is in plain sight

• If the defendant consented to the search

• If the search was incident to arrest

• If the car was impounded after an arrest

The Police may violate ones 4th Amendment in
many different ways, all by conducting illegal
searches. They may claim that they were
conducting a search incident to an arrest, but in
reality, they were searching outside of their
permitted area and place.

• So the next time the police ask you to consent to
  a search, you better know what you are agreeing
  too. Either remain quiet or say No. You will
  still have the right to speak with your attorneys
  and no one will be able to search your house
  without a warrant

• If you do not have an attorney on speed dial,
  consult with federal crime attorneys in Los
  Angeles at Okabe Haushalter as quickly as you
  can, as they may be your last chance of keeping
  your freedom.
