Illegal methond serving search warrant

Kenneth G. Wincorn
Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
You may have a cause of action against the government but this is a very difficult type of litigation to pursue. If there was a search warrant the problem is made more difficult. It may be worth you making an appointment with an attorney close to you. I am in Dallas and would be interested in looking at it if you are here. It is possible that you may have to pay some or all the costs of any litigation so be propared.

Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
You have a potential defense based on the facts. An assault requires that you intended to place him in eminent fear of injury or death not brought on by sufficient provocation.  You should consult with a lawyer about the effect of the facts. He may be able to get the case dismissed.

Stop and identify. I was walking in my neighborhood and a police officer stopped me. He said I matched the description of a suspicious person report

Kenneth G. Wincorn
Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
This is not a reasonable stop. Probable cause is required to stop someone and demand identification. This does appear to be profiling if there has not been a report of a crime or suspicious activity and the person stopped is a minority or a member of a protected class. If an arrest is made, any evidence that is obtained may be subject to suppression.
