The term "nightcap" or night capped warrant refer to warrants issued granting law enforcement officers the right to serve an arrest or search warrant at any time of the night or day. The rationale behind this type of warrant is that, in some instances, to protect officer safety or protect evidence which might otherwise not be available, law enforcement officers must have more latitude with respect to the time of service. Most state laws require that warrants be served during day light hours or have a specific time range for service. Night capped warrants can be served at any time.
