  1. 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.

  3. Illegally Obtained Evidence If the police officers found or seized the evidence in violation of the defendant’s 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.

  4. 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. Ryan Okabe

  5. The Violation of the 4th Amendment 
 When an officer conducts a search of the defendant’s home without the right warrant, that search immediately violates the defendant’s 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 one’s 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.

  7. 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.
