Many
times an individual accused of drug trafficking
may have had their rights violated due to law
enforcement not having the appropriate warrant or
probable cause to conduct a search. In order for law
enforcement to conduct of drug search to be legal,
law enforcement agencies or officers must have a
valid warrant or probable cause (reasonable belief
of guilt more than mere suspicion.) When a search
is improperly conducted or probable cause cannot be
substantiated, a persons rights have been violated.
Proof of an unwarranted search could result in the
suppression of drug evidence and could make all the
difference in the outcome of drug trafficking
case.
