How do police officers determine probable cause? We Believe in Results.
|

For an arrest or evidence obtained in a search to be valid, police officers must first establish probable cause upon objective criteria that, in turn, leads them to believe the suspect committed a crime. With that in mind, some police officers do make arrests and perform searches that, at a later date, may be determined to be illegal and inadmissible by a judge. In any case, it is critical that you exercise your right to remain silent once you have been placed under arrest or while you or your property are being searched. Subsequently, contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as you possibly can for the protection of your rights.
