SEARCH WARRANTS are issued for addresses or specifically described premises. ARREST WARRANTS name a specific name. Which are you referring to? As long as a search warrant is served at the address set forth in the warrant it is immaterial what name appears on it. If it was an arrest warrant in what way was the name wrong? Spelled wrong? Gives their alias or street name? Gives a totally wrong name (i.e.: John Doe instead Jack Smith)?

∙ 15y agoUnclear what the questioner is asking. Is he implying that the warrant was supposed to be served at a specific time, on a specific date? The only time/date that I am personally aware of that appears on search warrants is the time/date that it was prepared and the judge or magistrate signed it.

No.
A search warrant was issued to your friend house and your truck was there can it be search?
No, because the warrant is for the house and house only. Although police officers would probably still search the vehicle, only to use the warrant as an excuse for an illegal contraband hunt.
If the police obtain a search warrant to seach a home and they do not find anything pertaining to the warrant when they search the home can they still seize items.?
Absolutely not. They can only confiscate the types of items outlined in the search warrant, as long as nothing else criminally possessed was found while searching the house.
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%.

Does the owner of vehicle have to be present in order to search a vehicle?
That depends on how the search began:If a court issued a warrant to search, then no one need be there.If another in charge of the vehicle gave permission to search, then again, no there is no need for the owner or the warrant.If the vehicle was unattended and searched, it is still gray area because of probable cause.To translate, if probable cause existed; if a warrant was issued, or if 'some person' with 'possession and control' gave permission then the search was legal.
Where do you get a copy of search warrant?
First step is getting FIR lodged.Second is stamp of approval by higher authorities to validate the sameThird step is getting a search warrant (which has time validity generally three days)If the search warrant was faked at lower levels of police then its vague and open to punishmentAnother View: If you are the owner/resident of the premises on which the warrant was served you should have been left with a copy of the warrant at the conclusion of the search.If you didn't get one, go to the agency which served the warrant and request a copy.If you were arrested as a result of the warrant service, your case file will have a copy of the search warrant enclosed in it as part of the investigation which led to its issuance, and either you or your attorney will have access to it.HOWEVER - if you are not involved in any way with the property that was searched you have no right to obtain a copy of the warrant, ESPECIALLY if the case is still open and under active investigation.You will not be able to obtain a copy of any open-case paperwork unless/until the case is adjudicated in court. THEN, if you wish to see it, you can file a F.O.I. Act request.
