A:
If you're dealing with a search warrant that wasn't processed or conducted according to California law, you're likely facing a violation of your Fourth Amendment rights. This situation typically involves constitutional issues related to unlawful search and seizure. To address this, you'll need to consult with a criminal defense lawyer.
A criminal defense attorney is well-versed in handling cases where your rights may have been violated during a criminal investigation. They can assess the situation, challenge the validity of the search warrant, and work to have any unlawfully obtained evidence excluded from your case.
If you're considering pursuing a civil action for damages resulting from the violation of your rights, you might also need to speak with a civil rights attorney. They can guide you on whether you have grounds for a lawsuit against the authorities for the unlawful search.
