Police Search Warrant Rights

Summary

In Slovenia, police searches must adhere to the scope of a valid warrant. If your room was not specified and your brother had no access, you may have grounds to contest the search. Consulting a local lawyer can provide more detailed guidance on your specific situation. Legal outcomes can vary, so professional advice is recommended.

Are you familiar with Slovenian laws too?
Yes, I can provide general information about Slovenian laws. What specific legal issue are you dealing with in Ljubljana?
Not general information, i have a very specific case. I dont have the documents with me right now, but what happened is as follows; my little brother was searched by police while out and about, and they found some amount of cannabis around 20g lets say. Enough for a search warrant. They came to our house one morning, and from the hallway you can enter directly into my brothers room, then in his room there is another door that goes to my room. My room is always locked and my brother has no access to it, which the police was thoroughly informed of. They still insisted to go in my room and they found a large amount of cannabis, which i had for personal use - i am an addict/chronic user, and i qas offered half a kilo for very cheap, so i bough it. My question: do i have any grounds to overturn what the police did
In Slovenia, the legality of a police search depends on whether they had a valid warrant and if they respected the scope of that warrant. Here are some points to consider:
- Valid Warrant: Ensure the police had a valid search warrant specifying areas they could search.
- Scope of Search: If your room was explicitly excluded, you might challenge the search.
- Legal Representation: Consulting a local lawyer would be beneficial to understand the specifics of your situation.
Would you like help connecting with a local lawyer who can provide more detailed advice?
Well im assuming the warrant didnt exclude my room specifically. Im not sure if the warrant is meant for the house or for my brother though, you know what i mean? Im more curious about if theres a rule that specifies this: i feel like i was wronged because the warrant wasnt for me and my brother had no access to my room as well, so was i lawfully searched?
In Slovenia, police can search areas covered by a warrant unless explicitly excluded. If your room was not specified and your brother had no access, you may have grounds to contest it. Would you like to connect with a local lawyer for more detailed guidance?

It's understandable that you want to know if there are similar cases. While I don't have access to case records, situations involving search warrants and contested searches are not uncommon.
