Client was targeted by the YRP Bail Compliance Unit for 3 months before they arrested him for 11 counts of breaching his bail. All of the breaches were for being out without his surety or possessing a cell phone. Before being taken into custody and with their permission, he gave his satchel and his watch to his mother and then complied with all of their demands. He was searched incident to arrest and nothing unlawful was located. Once he was safely secured in the cruiser, they decided to search the satchel and found a loaded restricted firearm with extended clip and auto switch attached. After 3 days of evidence and some very contentious arguments, the judge agreed that the search was an unconstitutional violation of is rights and excluded the firearm and accessories in the satchel.
