What is the name of your state? pennsylvania.
In pennsylvania, after police picked up my tenant naked bloody and screaming like an animal a block away, they came to my house and asked me what happened. i admitted to having a physical altercation with him but did not mention the drugs at that time that i suspected were cause. i did say he has been hospitalized for possible schizophrenic episodes twice in last year which was true. i was asked to leave my house, as soon as i stepped outside i was handcuffed. i was not read my rights. the officer insisted he be let in to inspect my bedroom where the altercation took place. i refused consent to voluntary search of room, officer insisted he had right to enter, i was in handcuffs in police vehicle, he asked my other tenant who rents another room in house to let him in when he pulled up after work. i said do not consent to this and do not let officer into any other room.
Knowing my door was locked. The officer let himself into the unlocked bedroom next to mine of the aforementioned naked man they picked up a block away. in this room he found a clear plastic cup with an undisclosed amount of meth in it and a scale. I am now being charged with possession of meth amphetamine and intent to distribute as the officer called in a search warrant claiming both rooms were mine, and in my room found empty small 1x1 inch ziplock bags all empty and clean strewn about my room as well as marijuana paraphenelia and under 2 grams of pot. the officer tampered with evidence as he did not take the container the meth was in, a clear plastic cup easily fingerprinted, and instead left it in said bedroom in the exact spot he described to me he had found it. i was not drug tested in prison. i was refused a public defender in pittsburgh based on income. the police took two thousand in newly made rental payments in cash. on body cam a tenant offered me rent money, 500 cash, before entering the house with the officer. they seized the cash as well. i now have no way of aying an attorney before my preliminary hearing tuesday. can i have this suppressed as an illegal search and seizure without due probable cause and what statutes should i state in court if that is possible?
