it depends on the importance. it can take 15 minutes, or it could take hours. if a life is at stake, it would be relativley fast. and it depends on the evidence: where it is circumstancial or not.

∙ 14y agoThere is no exactly specified time. Depending on the circumstances they can wait until they are reasonably certain that the person, or the items, they are looking for are 'on site' before they serve it.
Actually there is a specified time on a "search and seizure" warrant. The time it must be executed is determined by the laws of the state in which the warrant was issued or if applicable, federal statutes. A general time span would be from the time of issue to 10 days, but as noted it really depends upon the laws of the state of issuance.

What protection does a search warrant provide citizens?
It keeps the police from being able to take your property or enter your dwelling indiscriminately. Meaning: under normal circumstances, a police officer cannot just take your property or come inside your house for no reason. He would have to appear before a magistrate and request a search warrant. Normally, courts will not issue a search warrant unless there is a valid reason to do so.
Do police have to show you the search warrant prior to breaking down your door?
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.
