Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

A vehicle search is an exception to the Right of Privacy. You may want to check with a criminal defense atty, as there may be still a requirement that there be some suspcision that criminal activity is afoot. Your damages do not justify any lawsuit as your damages do not amount to much.

You claim your rights were violated. What can you do? Defend the charges. Go to court, enter a not guilty plea if appropriate, arrange bail reduction or OR, set up and attend the court hearing[s] and trial date[s]. File evidence suppression motions as applicable. Raise all the available defenses with whatever admissible and credible witnesses, evidence and facts are available for legal arguments for motions, plea bargaining or at trial. Go to trial if it can't be resolved with motions or a plea bargain. There is no magic wand to wave and make it all disappear. If you don't know how to do these things, then hire an attorney that does. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.
