warrants and cops

[laura0908]

My boyfriend when he was driving he was pulled over by one undercover and one police officer. They searched his car, arrested him and took his keys to his apartment. They came in without the warrant, they never showed him the warrent, they didnt even leave it at his house.. they came into his apartment at 4pm and then they got the warrant at 5. They left the house open and let him go on the same day. Now he is in jail, dealing with other cases, but we just want to know if cops can come to our apartment without the warrant, they got the warrant short after they searched his apartment. They told him the warrant was ready since the morning but it was signed at 5. He has trial soon and we just want to know his rights.. They pulled him over without reason, took his keys, arrested him, didnt show the warrant, came to his apartment at 4<we saw on cameras> and warrant was signed at 5. they found about 3pounds of weed and small baggies of cocaine. Please for help

Are you in UK or USA?

Presumably he was arrested for drug related offences. If that is the case the police can enter and search, without a warrant, any premises where your boyfriend was immediately before his arrest. The fact that they found drugs there reinforces their suspicion that offences had taken place and he would be hard pushed to suggest that they had no business being there.

he's in deep trouble, but it is no defence to say the warrant was signed after they went to his flat. as new judge said, they probably had suspected he had drugs in his apartment and got a warrant to turn it over completely - and that is lawful, i'm afraid. he is going to prison for a long time, i suspect. sorry.

well we live in canada, onterio.. what he has do to beat this case? how much he has to pay? he used to have a lot of problems with police, but in most cases he was the winner.. he has very good lawyers.. for how long he might go to jail? he has been there three months already.. but he is in jail bcuz of assaults.. he wants to change now, since three years he doesnt drink, smoke or take drugs, i believe in him.. how much he might get for selling drugs?? 3 pounds of weed is like nothin, they didnt find any money, they have no serious evidence.. ;-(((((
