"When are police allowed to search my person or vehicle?"
To help answer this question and to gain a better understanding of this issue it is helpful to understand the meaning of "probable cause" under Wisconsin law.
If you believe a person has committed a crime against you, the accused will not necessarily be immediately arrested and charged. Unlike what you may have see on TV, the decision to “press charges” doesn’t rest with the victim; it rests with the prosecutor.
In Wisconsin, any person charged with a felony has a right to a preliminary hearing. A preliminary hearing is the first step in the process.
