Derechos frente a registros y decomisos ilegales

Explicación Simple

Si la policía toma algo de ti sin permiso o sin una buena razón, puedes pedir que te lo devuelvan. Puedes decirle a un juez que lo que hicieron no fue correcto y que no deberían usar eso como prueba en un juicio.

Es como si un amigo entrara a tu casa sin avisar y se llevara tu videojuego. Luego, tú puedes decirle que te lo devuelva porque no tenía derecho a tomarlo sin tu permiso.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan fue detenido por la policía y le quitaron su teléfono sin una orden de un juez. Juan puede ir a la corte y pedir que le devuelvan su teléfono porque la policía no siguió las reglas al decomisarlo.

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

(a) A person aggrieved by an unlawful search and seizure may move the district court for the district in which the property was seized or the district court having jurisdiction of the substantive offense for the return of the property and to suppress the use, as evidence, of anything so obtained on the ground that: (1) the property was illegally seized; (2) the property was illegally seized without warrant; (3) the warrant is insufficient on its face; (4) the property seized is not that described in the warrant; (5) there was not probable cause for believing the existence of the grounds on which the warrant was issued; (6) the warrant was illegally executed; (7) the warrant was improvidently issued; or (8) the warrant was executed or served in violation of section626.14. (b) The judge shall receive evidence on any issue of fact necessary to the decision of the motion. If the motion is granted the property shall be restored unless otherwise subject to lawful detention, and it shall not be admissible in evidence at any hearing or trial. The motion to suppress evidence may also be made in the district where the trial is to be had. The motion shall be made before trial or hearing unless opportunity therefor did not exist or the defendant was not aware of the grounds for the motion, but the court in its discretion may entertain the motion at the trial or hearing. 1963 c 850 s 1;1998 c 254 art 2 s 71;2023 c 52 art 9 s 9 Official Publication of the State of MinnesotaRevisor of Statutes
