PHILADELPHIA ILLEGAL SEARCH & SEIZURE ATTORNEYS
Pennsylvania Lawyers Handling Illegal Search & Seizure & Probable Cause Matters
The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution forms the basis of our right to privacy and to be free from illegal searches and seizures. It applies in arrests (seizures) and in law enforcement searches of places that would otherwise be private. Determining whether a search or arrest was legal or illegal requires a comprehensive understanding of the facts of the specific matter in question.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause ... Fourth Amendment to the Constitution
