Snippet:
My father was arrested based on a search warrant, but the court refused to give us copies of the documents and evidence that were used to get the warrant to protect the identities of the confidential informants and police witnesses. Doesn’t my father have the right to see those documents so he can challenge whether the search warrant was valid or his constitutional rights were violated?
