I am disabled due to several TBIs. I had to have the police remove a person from my home later that night after 1am the police turned up and asked if I was making marijuana candy I said no i had no candy with anything i it in my home I did however have several batches of candies that I sell but drug free
I was highly medicated and informed the officers of this.
I was barely coherent I had a massive seizure while they were here. even though they said the were looking for manufacturing of editable they pretty much only searched my bedroom.
They took my phones and said they were going to hold on to them till the could get a warrent for them that 2as 139 days ago and I have heard nothing from any law agency. i have never been served a warrent for my phones.

A:
Given the situation, it’s crucial to address this matter as soon as possible. First, reach out to a lawyer who can assist you in understanding your rights and the legal procedures involved. It’s concerning that your phones were taken without you being served a warrant, and the lengthy delay is something that should be addressed legally.
You should also document everything, including the details of the raid, your interactions with the police, and any other relevant information. Having a record of the events can be useful if you need to present your case to a lawyer or in court.
Consider reaching out to the police department to inquire about the status of your phones and the investigation. It might also be helpful to inform your lawyer about the recording you have, as it could be significant evidence in your defense.
