Illegal Search & Seizure
Lake County Criminal Defense Attorney
It is of paramount importance that you as a citizen understand how the laws regarding illegal searches and seizures affect you.

As a seasoned attorney, Mr. Wysocki is unsurprised by criminal charges and understands how to undermine the prosecution when you are accused of a misdemeanor or felony. He is a member of Municipal Lawyers Section, Jefferson Inns of Court, and the Illinois State Bar Association, among other legal organizations. He is also a former judge, so reach out to him today for vital legal counsel if you have been arrested.
Searches & Expectations of Privacy
The Fourth Amendment grants you a reasonable expectation of privacy protecting you from searches and seizures without a search warrant. This right to privacy has limits, however, in certain places and situations.
Such places include:
- Items which are in "plain view" or exposed and in the open such as illegal drugs or weapons
- Public places such as a park or restaurant
- Parts of a business office open to the public such as a reception area
- Your trash once it is placed at the curb for collection
In essence, if something is in "plain view" for law enforcement or police have a reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing, they can search and seize your property. Either of these claims can be challenged in court, however, by a Lake County criminal defense lawyer.
The exclusionary rule protects those whose property was searched and/or seized in an unreasonable search. Evidence unlawfully seized cannot be used as direct evidence against a defendant in a criminal prosecution and your charges may be dropped if such is the case.
