Illegal Search and Seizure
Drug offenses, in particular, seem to bring out the worst violations of civil rights by police officers. Because of state laws allowing for the confiscation of property associated with a felony drug crime, police illegally search the suspects auto under the pretense of probable cause. If they discover that the car is listed as a stolen vehicle, the charges of auto theft and possession of a stolen vehicle are added to the charges, even if you did not claim ownership of the vehicle or you had no idea it was stolen.
