Can you challenge the validity of a search warrant if the informant was not acting as an informant at the time but was engaged in criminal activity?

It is very hard to challenge the validity of a search warrant. When the cops come to your door with one, you need to let them do what they're supposed to do. Later you can challenge many aspects of the search warrant, such as them exceeding the scope of the warrant, their illegal petitioning for the warrant by stating facts that were untrue (perjury), or anything else of legal challenge value.

∙ 12y agoYES! In many cases a criminal informant is working off some type of case or charge by helping law enforcement officials acquire evidence for an arrest and a conviction. One way to challenge the reliability of the informant is to expose what type of activity they were previously involved in and how desperate they are to work off that case by helping the law enforcement officials. This doesn't always work but it does help disprove the actual reliability of the informants statements. Talk it over with an attorney first, this is not legal advise just a simple attempt to answer this question.

What is the requisites of valid warrant of arrest?
Usually, as much information about the individual to be arrested as is possible. In some extraordinary cases there are such things as "John Doe" warrants issued, when the particular individual may be known by sight and by the nature of their criminal activity but nothing can be learned of his identification. As far as validity is concerned - if the warrant is signed by a judge - believe me - it is valid.
