Asked in Criminal Law and Constitutional Law for Kentucky

Q: I had an illegal search warrent issued for a residence i just moved to that had my name no where on it.

The search warrent said to search the residence of John doe at 28 B.S. lane. I just moved in 6 days b4 this happened. John Doe has never owned the property nor has he ever been on the property. He has lived at the same residence for 30 years. A man had moved out in the middle of the night of the residence a week b4 I started moving in. John Doe's name is on the warrent 4 times, mine zero. John Doe went to the sheriff's office & complained about his name being on warrent & the sheriff's office responded by saying that it had already been taken care of??? A search warrent that has been signed under affirmation or oath can't be changed to make it fit the way they want it to can it? The task force presented the district judge unaccurate & wrong info to obtain the warrent, which in my eyes is perjury or what they would charge me if I did what they are trying to do. And if the name on the warrent is changed isn't that called tampering with court records?? I live in Muhlenberg co. Ky. Thank

A: If the warrant was tampered with or defective I. Any way, you can seek to have the search suppressed in court. Consult a local criminal attorney and get quality representation in this case.
