Police can restrict access to a premise or limit someone's movement under the "caretaking" function if the situation dictates that a failure to do so might result in harm coming to someone or there is a significant risk to property. For instance, if a gas leak was suspected as coming from within a house, the police could force an evacuation and/or keep people from re-entering the house until the situation was made safe. They can do this for a "reasonable" amount of time, and what is "reasonable" is dictated by the situation.
Additional: In addition to the situations clearly described above; if your home is the scene of an active ongoing investigation or incident, you may be barred to prevent your interference with the investigation or the conatamination of the scene and/or possible evidence.
Ive heard of police with a search warrant finding something non-related to the search warrant, and then issuing a new search warrant on the spot regarding the new issue.
Yes. The police can search any items if they have a warrant. It does not matter that no one is there to receive the warrant. The police only have to leave a copy of the warrant at the residence.
A Search Warrant
There is no consent needed from anybody when there is a valid search warrant in play. The court gives the police the right to search by granting the search warrant.
Yes, the officer may search. Police may search a building if they reasonably believe a valid search warrant has been issued. They do not have to possess the search warrant.
Technically they cant unless they have a search warrant not an arrest 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.
Yes, police generally need to show a search warrant before conducting a search, unless there are specific circumstances that allow for a search without a warrant, such as consent or exigent circumstances.
I heard that you can ask the police to do a free warrant search on you at any time. Can you ask them to do a free warrant search on someone else?
Yes, you are not necessarily required to be present.
Yes they can search it
It could be one. There are search warrants and arrest warrants. If you have a search warrant, the police are entitled to search your property. After executing the search warrant, if the police establish probable cause to believe that you committed a crime, they can arrest you. If you have an arrest warrant, it is only a matter of time before the police find you and execute the arrest warrant.
