Search Warrants

The police must have probable cause for a search. A warrant is not always necessary. For example, in the context of a DUI, if the officer has probable cause he can have blood drawn due to the rapidly changing blood-alcohol ratio. This is called exigent circumstances. Search warrants require a sworn affidavit. If the affidavit is based on information obtained from a CI (also called a confidential informer, cooperating individual, criminal informer, citizen witness or snitch), the CI must have proven reliable in the past.

"MR. Alldredge worked with me while I was on a short time line do to having leave to go back to work in Germany. He ended up not only representing me but got the case dismissed and saved my military career. Now i see why all my friends recommended him and he hard earned reputation." Charles Pinkston
