What if the search warrant has a persons name on it who doesnt even live at residence the warrant was served?

A warrant to search a residence does not need to state the name, or names, of any resident. Although the warrant may state the name of an individual believed to be located upon that property. It only needs to be issued to the address or description of the property upon which it is to be served. However, incorrect information contained within a warrant is potential cause to exclude evidence obtained during the search based upon that warrant. The defense would have to show that the incorrect information was included by law enforcement in bad faith.


How many warrants can be issued for a residence in a month?

There is no limit - as long as law enforcement can show probable cause to a judge that each and every warrant application is for a separate illegal activity taking place on the premises, the judge can issue a search warrant for that instance. If there is a lot of illegal activity taking place at that location, there could be a LOT of warrants issued.

Can a cop enter your home if the door is open without a warrant if he suspects an under age drinking party?

It depends on why he is entering. Was he called to the residence? Is he or she doing a 'welfare check'? What type of call history has there been at that residence? If the police officer has an arrest warrant, and knows the person named in the warrant is in the residence, then in the state of NC, the answer is yes.
