Unlawful Search And Seizure

Summary

If arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle, ensure you understand your rights, especially regarding unlawful search and seizure. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches, and evidence obtained unlawfully may be inadmissible. If you have a legal title proving ownership, it can be a strong defense. Consider consulting a local attorney to help file motions to suppress evidence or dismiss charges.
