The police must give a copy of the search warrant to the person in charge of the premises at the time the search is conducted. The police must also leave a "return" of the warrant, listing any items seized in the search.
Additional: The above information may be a requirement in the contributors own jurisdiction. In others, it is NOT necessary to show or give a copy of the warrant to the individual in charge of the premises, (if any are even present). Mere knowledge of the existence of a valid warrant is sufficient enough to execute it.
no they do not have to show you all they need is the search warrant. But what you should have done is to see the warrant. Sorry
To search for a warrant, you can contact your local police department or check online on the official website of the court in your area. You may also hire a lawyer to help you with the search process.
A Search Warrant
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.
No they do not. If they have a signed search warrant they are allowed to enter without notice. They are only required to show you the warrant upon your request to see it. If they do not allow you to see the warrant, this could potentially invalidate the search and make any evidence found against you during the search inadmissible.Added: While the above may be true in the specific case of the service of search warraants, it is NOT so in the case of the service of an arrest warrant. Mere knowledge of the existence of an arrest warrant for an individual is sufficient to take that person into custody. The arrestee need not be shown the actual warrant at the time of arrest.
Question makes no sense. A search warrant is a search warrant regardless of WHERE the premises is physically located.
My cousin committed some small crimes awhile back and got away. He thinks there's a warrant out for his arrest. Is there a way to do a free warrant search online somewhere to see if he could potentially be arrested?
Technically they cant unless they have a search warrant not an arrest warrant.
A search warrant is a document an offical must have to search your property for any reason.
house search is the answer
do a jugde have to seal a 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.
