In the case of federal warrants being issued or not issued - it is not 'evidence' that matters it is PROBABLE CAUSE that must convince the Federal Juege or Magistrate to issue one or not, the same as in local or state warrants.

A warrant is not required for an arrest. If the officer has ample evidence that a crime has been committed and circumstances of immediacy pertain, they can arrest someone on the spot.

If the search warrant is wrong can the police still used the evidence they found against you?
No. If the search warrant is invalid and they illegally searched you or someone you know (like without reasonable cause, or without the warrant) then they can't use any evidence against you. To the best of my knowledge, anyways. I don't know how many ways a search warrant can be wrong though...if they were searching for like, pot, but found cocaine, they CAN use that though. Or a gun, or something like that. If they have the warrant, they can use it. If they searched without the warrant, its invalid and inadmissible 100%.
