Can cops search my home if they think I'm on parole?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
You are clearly asking a question about a potentially illegal search, and it is impossible answer that question without additional details. I do believe you have raised an issue and recommend that you call my offices or another attorney as quickly as possible. In the meantime you should not converse with the police or any other investigative authorities before you receive counsel.

Is it possible for an unlawful possession of controlled substance case to be sealed?

Your past arrest will show up. I seriously doubt that this new charge will be dropped. You need to clean up your act. You are a repeat offender.

Fingerprints and photo taken? Why?

Michael A. Schillinger
Answered by attorney Michael A. Schillinger
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Michael A. Schillinger, Esq.
It sounds like your husband was issued what is called a Desk Appearance Ticket or a Criminal Summons. For misdemeanor offenses they need fingerprints most likely because he was arrested for a fingerprintable offense, and they need photos for his rap sheet. I'm assuming he has not been in front of a judge yet? Most likely the next Court date is going to be his arraignment and sometimes they try to arrange to have him fingerprinted and photographed before then to expedite the proceeding, rather than trying to do it the day of. With that being said, any time he interacts with the police on this case he should do so with his attorney present, to ensure that nothing is said that might incriminate him. You should certainly reach out to an attorney to see if you can hire them for the case, or even if you are not looking to hire an attorney for the case but instead have Legal Aid, you may be able to hire an attorney to represent him strictly when he is fingerprinted/photographed to ensure his rights are protected.    Good luck and I hope this information is helpful.
