Illegal Seizure
The Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act regulates the handling of seized property in criminal cases. This Act has been the subject of some debate after the 1999 case of Florida V. White, in which the United State Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Florida Supreme Court. It is important for every citizen to understand their Fourth Amendment rights and for them to be properly upheld by the courts. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against the following.
- Search without a warrant
- Seizure without a warrant
- Search without probable cause
- Seizure without probable cause
