Know Your Rights Before It’s Too Late
Being stopped by police in Chicago is a stressful situation, and when officers start asking to look through your car or your bag, that stress can quickly turn into panic. Many people consent to searches out of fear or confusion—believing they have no choice. Others are searched without any warning at all. The reality is that not all police searches are legal, and if your rights were violated, your criminal case could be thrown out.
At The Law Offices of David L. Freidberg, we’ve defended clients in hundreds of cases involving car and bag searches throughout Chicago and the surrounding counties. Our experience shows that unlawful searches often happen during what starts as a routine traffic stop or casual street detention. What you do—and what your lawyer does—can change everything about how your case unfolds.
