What is illegal search and seize?

Search and seizure are two different things. A search is an intrusion into a reasonable expectation of privacy. A seizure is the taking or interference with custody or movement of a person or property. You can have a search without a seizure, and a seizure without a search. Either is unlawful if the search or seizure is not supported by the probable cause to believe that a crime has occurred, is about to occur, or is occurring, and the search or seizure will result in evidence of that crime. Probable cause is a reasonable belief, based on facts available to the person doing the searching and seizing, that criminal activity is taking place. With some exceptions, an officer can't conduct a search just because he wants to, or on pure speculation. There has to be some reasonable basis for the search.
