Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant The police took every computer in my house over a year ago.

[joeblow4877]

I have two questions:

First of all I live in California. The police took every computer in my house over a year ago. They said they were looking for kiddie porn. Of course they didn't find any because there wasn't any. The D.A. said the worst it would be is a misdemeanor. I was wondering how long they have until they have to give me back my stuff.

I was also wondering why the search warrant said they wanted all memory devices and they took my whole computer. Is that normal??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

This Is not Legal Advice


You should call them and ask in a polite manner, how long before they return your goods
and yes it is normal for them to keep all the equipment togather.

good luck.

What are the full details of the case. Did they have only probable cause to sieze your computers or a full warrant. Sounds like if its been a year and they have found nothing you should recieve your goods back. Let me know what has transpired since your last submission.
