Approximately (3) years ago, both my residence and my place of employment were served with a search warrant to seize files and computers relative to communication I had with a another party under investigation for financial crimes. There were (2 ) separate warrants served for my home and place of employment listing items be seized that I had access to. However, the authorities seized my wife’s computer from her desk of our mutually shared employer (not our home). Keep in mind, we (my wife and I) did NOT share desk, nor clients, but her computer was seized when there was NO language in the search warrant allowing her work area to be searched and items seized from her desk or work area.
After reviewing both search warrants and the inventory list of both my home and place of employment, it has come to my attention that the authorities acted improperly and illegally when they indicated that they seized my wife’s computer from our home when it was in fact seized from her work area at our place of employment, but entered it as being seized from our home. There was incriminating information on my wife’s computer that resulted in charges being filed against her. Based on the search warrant NOT allowing for her independent work area at our place of employment to be searched and computer to be seized, shouldn’t these charges be dropped or dismissed?
