Re: Illegal search case
Four days is probably a short enough period for the tip from the informant to be valid but, generally, a tip needs to be corroborated with additional and independent observations by the police to make a warrant valid. Only a lawyer who has reviewed your case carefully could really advise you on whether you have grounds for challenging the search. The devil is in the details.
