Does a search warrant for a house give the police authority to search all closets and cabinets in the house?
Absolutely... The search warrant gives the authority for the police to search any part of the address for which it was granted. It also grants permission to search the grounds surrounding the house up to the boundary fences - including any outbuildings within the boundary. Additionally - it also gives the police permission to search any person found in the property OR any person who visits the property while the search is being carried out !
