A: It sounds like you have some factual details to dispute in defense of a criminal charge or possibly in a civil rights lawsuit. However, with the limited information and without the ability to review the documents, it would be extremely difficult for an attorney on an online forum to provide you answers to your questions. I strongly urge you to hire an attorney immediately who can review the warrant, the affidavit in support of the warrant, police reports, other evidence, and understand the events as you describe them. From there, the attorney can determine how best to proceed with any type of challenge to the search warrant.
