Minor on Probation Cannot be Searched Unless Police Have a Reason

In order to conduct a search of the minor on probation who has not given the police a reason to search him, the officer must already know of the previous probation condition before the search takes place under the case of  In Re Jaime P.

If the only reason the minor allowed the police to search him was because of the condition of probation and the officers searching the minor did not know that he was on probation, anything the minor is found to be carrying at the time would not be allowed to be used in court against the minor.

Because evidence gathered in many searches carried out by police officers may not be used against you, depending on the conditions of your arrest, it is imperative that you seek out a qualified attorney to represent you and fight for your rights. Michael S. Carrillo will assess the conditions surrounding your arrest and work hard for you to make sure that your personal privacy and Constitutional rights are not violated.
