Procedure of seizing my mobile phone as I am accused Procedure of seizing my mobile phone as I am accused

9 months ago

Do the police officers have any right to confiscate my mobile phone without giving any consent and without giving any details of the petition against me when I went to the cybercrime police station in compliance with the summons? I have not been officially served with any information about the charge against me except the summons without any details about the petition/petitioner. I was not given any consent for my cell phone to be seized, is this a legal act.

A.Dear client,
The police may confiscate a mobile phone if it is believed to be connected with an offence or if it is considered to be evidence in a criminal investigation. However, this confiscation must be done with a proper warrant or under the authority of a specific legal provision that allows for the search and seizure of evidence.
