Illegal Search And Seizure

Summary

In North Carolina, warrantless searches are generally illegal unless an exception applies. Hotel guests have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their rooms. Evidence found in an illegal search can be suppressed in court. If a public defender is not providing adequate assistance, you can request a different one or file a complaint. For defamation claims, false information must be published, causing harm to reputation, and the publisher must have acted negligently or with malice. Consulting a local attorney specializing in criminal defense or defamation can provide further guidance. Consider using legal aid services if you qualify for free or reduced-cost legal assistance.
