Yes, however, if the search was illegal, nothing gained from the search can be used in court. The defendant should file a motion to suppress prior to trial, and in some situations, there will be no way to continue with prosecution if the evidence is suppressed.

What does it mean when you are charged for a crime?

Charged - A formal accusation of an offense which is the preliminary step to prosecution. It does NOT mean "The Accused Person or Business" has been CONVICTED or found GUILTY of an illegal offense or crime. More so, it IS an accusation by someone representing the law, most likely a police officer. It DOES mean that the "The Accused Person or Business" will go before a court of law where a prosecutor - which is an attorney representing the Federal Government - will attempt to prove to the court that "The Accused Person or Business" is guilty of the said illegal offense or crime.

Difference between judicial custody and police custody?

When a person is given in police custody, he remains in custody of police, i.e. in police lock-up. Police custody can not be given beyond 15 days except where there is special provision to grant PC for more than 15 days. Police has unfettered powers to interrogate the accused in police custody in a lawful manner. Whereas in judicial custody, the accused technically remains in the custody of the magistrate. He can be kept in jail or other place of safety. Police can not interrogate the accused without permission of the magistrate if the accused is in judicial custody.

What should you do if accused of assault with a deadly weapon and impersonating a police officer but you didn't do it?

The charges are very serious, the best choice would be to obtain the advice of an attorney who is experienced in criminal defense, even if the person has not been formally charged. Or,if they are arrested and charged for the crimes, at the arraignment the judge will ask if the person can afford counsel. If the accused cannot pay for a private attorney the judge will appoint a PDA.
