Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
gaining entrance to a vehicle
I am a college student. I parked my
vehicle in a staff parking space and
had an expired parking permit. Upon
seeing this the public safety officers
gained entrance into my vehicle
without any permission or any kind
of justifiable cause except for the fact
that my permit was expired. Are they
allowed to do this? Thank you.

No, and if you were criminally charged based on what they found, your lawyer should file a motion to suppress. Do not expect the public defender to do this.

I presume you had nothing showing you were a staff member and there were signs up saying the vehicle would be towed. If they entered your car to make it easier to tow the vehice away, then you are not going to be able to convince anyone you should be compensated
