As a U.S. citizen, you are entitled to certain constitutional rights, including protection from unlawful actions by law enforcement. Unfortunately, there are instances where officers violate these rights, either intentionally or through negligence.

Under the 6th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article III, Section 6 of the West Virginia Constitution, citizens are guaranteed the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. Over the years, a significant body of law has developed to define what constitutes a reasonable search or seizure under various circumstances.
