Search & Seizure: Protect Your Civil Rights in Chicago
The police cannot pat you down, frisk you, perform a cavity search, or search you whenever they want. They are also not allowed to enter your home or car and search it whenever they want. The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the Illinois Constitution, along with various statutes, place limitations on law enforcement officers when they want to search a person, a house, a car, or any other personal property. When the police conduct an unlawful search, it may lead to a Fourth Amendment unlawful search claim, and it may also lead to a false arrest.
Importantly, even when the police are allowed to search a person, a home, or a car, they must act reasonably. A police officer cannot destroy somebody’s property during a search just because he or she has the legal authority to conduct a search. As such, you may have a claim for unreasonable search even if the police entered your home with a valid warrant. Call Foutris Law Office, Ltd. to learn if you have a valid Fourth Amendment unreasonable search claim! You can also learn more about police misconduct and how it relates to unlawful search and seizure.
Contact a Chicago civil rights attorney for a consultation to determine whether you have grounds for legal action over unlawful search and seizure.

"A great Lawyer indeed!"
I had no intentions on getting a lawyer for my situation because I didn’t think anything would be done. My mother contacted Bill and I’m so happy that she did! Not only was he professional and really nice he also genuinely cared about what happened to me and he showed empathy. The best part about it all I gave up on the case but Bill never did. He believed we had a chance at winning and he was right! Bill won the case for me and I also received a settlement check! A great Lawyer indeed!
