Look for 4th amendment cases.
Re: illegally seized evidence
There are plenty of cases. Unfortunately, the OCCA usually cites only the fourth amendment grounds and ignores article II Section 30 of the state constitution. You are making a mistake if you are trying to do this yourself. If you cannot afford a lawyer, get a public defender even if it means having your bond revoked and going back to jail for a while. If you've got a good suppression issue, a deal to avoid prison can probably be worked. GET A LAWYER!!! You are playing with your freedom. Good luck.
