Q: Two cops came into our home and searched without warrant and took us both to jail for my meds and weed pipe. He on parol
They dropped my charges and we both had Sam charge. How can they drop mine and not his? He on parole. We didn't take a drug test and the cops had no right to enter our home. He still in jail for something he didn't do. He was on bed sick.
A:
Inmates released on parole sign “conditions of release” forms. One condition is that the parolee consents to having his residence or any property under his control searched - WITHOUT a warrant.
That being said, he may still have defenses to any criminal charges, or to the revocation of his parole. He needs to carefully consider what he does with the criminal case, it will have a big impact on what happens at the revocation. He will have a greater likelihood of a positive result if he hires an attorney to represent him in both the revocation and the criminal case. Good luck.
