    Can Evidence Found in a Raid but Not Documented Be Used Against You
    My question involves police conduct in the State of:California

    Police officers raided a house looking for my brother and a gun .instead they found 30 ecstasy pills, but the pills weren't documented in their search and seizure report. Its didn't say anywhere in their report that they found them. Seven months later they issue a warrant for my arrest . Can that evidence be used against me in court?

    Presumably the evidence was bagged and tagged, and was inventoried. If not, you can certainly raise "chain of evidence" issues through your lawyer to try to suppress the evidence. There are a lot of details here that, obviously, we don't know.
