The police do not have to actually have the warrant in their hands. All they need is to have knowledge that it was signed by a judge and issued and this info can come via phone or police radio.
If they have a search warrant, then yes.
yes
no they do not
Yes, if they have a warrant.
The police got a search warrent in order to search the suspect's house. The suspect would not allow the police to search his home without a search warrant.
The police can only search your house and property with a search warrant or with your permission. Contrary to the belief of most people, the police have no right to search your property for someone who does or doesn't live with you without a warrant.
Only the police can apply for a search warrant, and only a judge can approve of the search warrant. The police only apply for search warrants when they have reasonable suspicion that their suspect is hiding something illegal in his/her house.
If the police do not have a search warrant, you have the right to refuse letting them into your house.
No, because the warrant is for the house and house only. Although police officers would probably still search the vehicle, only to use the warrant as an excuse for an illegal contraband hunt.
Yes a police officer does need a warrant to come into your house, by force. But if the officer would ask to come in and you reply yes, he can come in without a warrant.
I'll give an example. When police come knocking at your door, demanding you to open up and let them search the house, you can say, "No, I need to see your search warrant." The police MUST have a search warrant in order to search your house and if they don't, you can kick them out! :) Hehe.
Police can search a private home if they have a warrant to search a house. There may be some exceptions under the Patriot Act.
