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 Last answered on September 28, 2026The 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?

Unfortunately, this is a serious problem that I often hear from people who contact me.
First, you and your boyfriend should each consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney.
Second, you should write down what happened because events are only fresh in your memory for so long. This may later become important for your lawyer, as well.
You can proceed to the Local Superior Court and file a petition to unseal the search warrant affadavits.
