1 Answer from Attorneys
Under New York law, if you let them in, they don't need a warrant and they can seize anything in plain view. Considering you were arrested for marijuana possession and a potential conspiracy to distribute charge, they were probably within their rights to seize the lights as either paraphenalia or additional evidence to support an additional felony charge.
If you haven't already done so, you should retain legal counsel immediately and not answer any questions put to you by law enforcement.
Good luck!
