Why is an epileptic shock?

It is possible to die from an epileptic seizure, but it is extremely rare. It would have to be a very severe seizure to do that. You can die indirectly as a result of a seizure, like if you fell from a high place as a result of a seizure or were engaged in some other dangerous activity and had a seizure. This is why people with epilepsy are not advised to drive. Having a seizure while driving could result in a crash and the death of the driver. The death would be a result of the crash, not the seizure itself. Most seizures in themselves are not dangerous. They may cause a temporary loss of conciousness. For most situations that is not a problem and the seizure will pass and the person will recover. That is what happens for the vast majority of people who have seizures. They lead very normal and long lives.

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.
