Police officers can only search your home, property, car, or financial records if they have probable cause that they'll find evidence of a crime, and therefore receive a search warrant issued by a judge. 

But, sometimes they can conduct a search without a warrant.  If a potential piece of evidence is sitting out in the open, where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy.  They also do not require a warrant if you voluntarily agree to a search. 

Many people allow police to search when they didn't have to, because they didn't know they had the right to refuse, or were pressured by police.  An experienced Fort Lauderdale criminal defense attorney will be able to give you the explicit details of search and seizure laws as they pertain to your case.
