Arizona Immigration Checkpoints Lawyers

Immigration checkpoints are a common sight along Arizona thoroughfares, especially I-40, I-15, I-10 and I-8. While these checkpoints are supposed to be looking for illegal immigrants, more often than not these checkpoints are actually looking for illegal drugs.

In order to find illegal drugs that may be stashed in a vehicle, checkpoint guards use drug dogs. If a dog alerts, you are removed from your vehicle and guards begin to search through your belongings to find drugs that you may have. Many times, an individual’s rights and personal freedoms are violated during these immigration checkpoint search and seizures.
