Chapter 3; Search warrant.
This is an official order signed by the judge allowing the police
to do thorough search for specific objects at a specific place and
at a specific time.
How a search warrant is obtained by the police.
The police are said to obtain a search warrant by convincing a
neutral and detached magistrate that they have a very important
cause to deal with and this immediately informs the magistrates
that there is an activity taking place at the scene at hand. The
information given by the police to the magistrate is always
provided in written statements under an oath called Affidavits
which shows the place’s own observations. The magistrate will
offer the warrant only upon being convinced by the police
affidavits.
What the police can search for and seize under a search warrant.
Once the police has been issued the search warrant, he or she is
3. only conditioned to search the lace described and only for the
property described. For instance, the police can not search the
house if the warrant states the backyard at the same time they
cannot search for weapons if the search warrant states that they
want drugs. If in the case of the police search, the police
officers come across evidences of a crime which may not be
listed in the warrant, they are often allowed to seize such a
product.
Consent searches.
In the case where the police officers limit themselves to the
search to whatever the person agreed to, the search will be
considered highly valid but its against the court’s expectation
for they say that the police should ask for permissions before
they start a search to each and every room and this is valid only
upon the magistrate consenting that the police interpretation of
the consent is more convincing.
