I advise you to contact an attorney on this matter. Evidence, such as that allegedly seized, may be suppressed because of possible constitutional violations. Do not discuss the facts of your case with anyone besides the attorney that you hire (if you indeed choose to hire one).

Scary! Unfortunately, too many unknowns to give you an informed answer. If they had an arrest warrant, for example, the answer changes. I'd advise hiring an attorney immediately, and do not discuss this case with anyone, especially law enforcement. Good luck ¡

I urge you to not discuss this incident with anyone other than a lawyer, and do not post details in online forums such as this. You should meet in person with an attorney as soon as possible to go over the specifics of your case. An in person meeting where your lawyer can ask you follow up questions will be much more productive than trying to advise you based on a few sentences in an online forum.
