It doesn't matter why or what he wasn't supposed to do. Your question should be, what do I do now. If you were arrested, defend the charges and raise the evidence issue properly in court. If you weren't arrested, and don't expect to be, then you can start the process of demanding return of seized property. Either way, if you are serious about hiring counsel to help in this, feel free to contact me.
