It sounds like you feel that law enforcement is going to try to charge you with the crime. You need to contact a qualified criminal defense attorney and go over all the facts. As a former Deputy District Attorney and a Certified Criminal Law Attorney, I'm sure I can answer all your questions. Contact me at my website..www.wallinlaw.com. Thank you. David Wallin
Re: Burglary tools
That would depend on where the tools were found. If they were in the garage under a stack of stuff ten years old belonging to your father, (and especially if he had a burglary history), then I think you have a good chance of winning this case. If they were found in your dresser under your tighty whiteys, then that would be much tougher.
It sounds like the search occurred but you have not been arrested or charged yet. You may want to review an article on my web site regarding pending investigations at this link:

Re: Burglary tools
You need to consult with an experienced criminal law attorney. Your question is too vague to answer in any meaningful way!
