Can the
police get a warrant or have just cause to search my house after arresting my
husband when we were in a traffic stop?
My husband fled a traffic stop
when I was in the car with him. The police claimed because he was on felony
probation they could search my house and we found out it was for probation
violation that he had a body attachment but once he was in custody why did my
home need to be searched and why did i have to be in the back of the cop car in
a different location as they searched my house while using my key from in my
purse without permission
Authorities could probably lawfully search a probationer's
residence (on behalf of the PO) without a warrant, but the same may not be true
for your residence. Therefore, if you get charged with something as a result of
a warrantless search, an experienced criminal lawyer might be able to get the
evidence suppressed, which might also mean that the DA abandon's the underlying
prosecution against you. I am guessing however, that they may have later gotten
a warrant to come back later and search your house, however, so this issue may
not come up. You also don't say whether or not you were charged, but either
way, if you want real legal advice in a complex situation like this, you should
retain a lawyer, who could also investigate whether or not your civil rights
were violated in any fashion that might make a civil claim worthwhile.
