Can police search my vehicle without a warrant?

Answered by attorney Jonathan A. Baner (Unclaimed Profile)

Depends on the circumstances and the scope of the search. A police inventory search following an arrest and impoundment is sufficient and broad in scope for purposes of inventorying the car's contents. It must not be a sham impoundment (i.e. they pull over a suspected drug dealer for not using signal and then impound the car for purposes of searching for drugs but with a wink and a nod calling it an inventory).

I am being investigated for a fraud

Answered by attorney Cordt Cullen Akers (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Akers Firm PLLC
First off, I'm sorry you've found yourself in this situation.  Secondly, the unfortunate answer is yes. I've represented many people who have used identifying information, credit cards, or checks with the permission of the owner of the information, just to have them turn around and call the police.  What's even worse is if the person using the checks had some sort of misunderstanding as to what extent the permission went.  We're usually able to fix the situation, but not after a long, drawn-out, and scary court process.  Your first course of action needs to be to get an excellent criminal defense lawyer familiar with fraud and white collar crime issues.  ESPECIALLY in these types of cases, it is important to get a lawyer involved BEFORE a charging decision is made by the district attorney.  In your case, that means right now.  Many of us will offer you a free consultation and meeting about your case.  Get in touch with a lawyer or two, meet with them, then hire the one you best believe can help you through this mess.  Hope I helped, best of luck. Regards, Cordt Akers Criminal Defense Lawyer (713) 426-2244
