What would define a faulty warrant?
A search warrant could be faulty if it has wrong information on it. Then it would make the search warrant void. This can be the wrong name or a mistake on the address. If there is not a reasonable suspicion it could also be faulty.
Is a search warrant valid with the wrong address for drugs in Ga?
No, not unless the error was found and corrected by the issuing judge or magistrate BEFORE the warrant was executed. If the warrant was served at the wrong address, anything found and seized could be excluded as evidence.
If names and dates are wrong on a search warrant is the search warrant still valid?
SEARCH WARRANTS are issued for addresses or specifically described premises. ARREST WARRANTS name a specific name. Which are you referring to? As long as a search warrant is served at the address set forth in the warrant it is immaterial what name appears on it. If it was an arrest warrant in what way was the name wrong? Spelled wrong? Gives their alias or street name? Gives a totally wrong name (i.e.: John Doe instead Jack Smith)?
What does the Warrant Officer Warrant look like?

Does a search warrant have to have an address?

What do you do if you find out the warrant had wrong address?
Unable to answer without more specific information on the circumstances.
If the search warrant is wrong can the police still used the evidence they found against you?
No. If the search warrant is invalid and they illegally searched you or someone you know (like without reasonable cause, or without the warrant) then they can't use any evidence against you. To the best of my knowledge, anyways. I don't know how many ways a search warrant can be wrong though...if they were searching for like, pot, but found cocaine, they CAN use that though. Or a gun, or something like that. If they have the warrant, they can use it. If they searched without the warrant, its invalid and inadmissible 100%.
Is a search and seizure warrant illegal or invalided if the judge signed it with the wrong year?
No, it is just a clerical error, but it must be corrected before the warrant can be served.
What if the warrant has the persons name on it but the wrong address?
It does not matter because as long as the warrant has the persons name on it somebody in the law will find them, it will just take longer.
