Best Answer

It depends on what is stipulated in the warrant. You can ask to see the warrant and read it over carefully to understand what is allowed and what is not. Your best bet is contacting a criminal defense attorney.

Added: The last sentence above is good advice - IFyou are looking for advice IN ADVANCE of the fact. At the time the police arrive to serve the warrant, they are NOT going to await the arrival of your attorney before they execute the warrant.
