A:
I'm sorry you're experiencing this situation. Consent forms for searches must be accurate and truthful. If you believe the time was altered or the consent was falsified, this could be a serious issue.
It's important to document everything you know about the incident, including any evidence like the consent form left on your property. This information can be crucial for any legal actions you might take.
You should reach out to a qualified attorney who can help you understand your rights and guide you through the appropriate steps to address this matter. They can provide specific advice based on the details of your case.
