California Criminal Defense questions and answers

• Last week the gang unit came to my house & did a search but never gave me a search warrant. What can I do?

  Asked in Los Angeles, CA | February 7, 2026

  The gang unit came and knocked on my door yelled search warrant and kicked in my front door. They never presented anyone who lives in the house with a search warrant. They took my boyfriend to the station, and because he wouldn't incriminate himself, they took his phone and have yet to give it back. What can we do?

• My vehicle is being held even though all the cases got thrown out for a lack of evidence and illegal search. How do I get it back?

  Asked in Santa Rosa, CA | April 13, 2026

  I got pulled over seven times. Now they're holding my vehicle even though all the cases got thrown out for a lack of evidence and illegal search. I need to get a hold of my vehicle so they can't sell it at the tow yard. The cases are going out, but the judge hasn't ruled on whether he wants to make me pay any of it, even though I shouldn't have to pay any of it. The bill is at 7100 and it's theirs and they can pay for it, but they want me to pay for it because they justified it as an illegal search because of the severity of the crime, but it was for three misdemeanors that all got thrown out.
