This is a hotly debated and litigated subject and MUCH depends on the circumstances. If the officer is in the location lawfully (i.e.- serving a warrant) and finds evidence of some other offense he may seize the evidence and bring new charges based on that discovery - or - he can secure the premises and then go to court and reequest a new warrant based on his discovery. Generally, just tbecause he happens to find something that wasn't SPECIFICALLY included in the original warrant does not preculde him from taking action.

If you not in your car in the police search and finds something but the doors was locked?

If it was in plain sight, it's admissable. Otherwise, it wouldn't be unless the police had either a warrant or could establish probable cause.


What can be seized in a seach warrant?

A search warrant must particularly describe the items to be seized. During the course of serving the warrant, while searching for the particular items to be seized, if the officer finds items that he has probable cause to believe are contraband or evidence of a crime, he can seize those items as well. The scope of the search is a relevant factor. If the search warrant is to locate stolen cars, and the officer finds drugs while looking inside a desk drawer (where you cannot reasonably expect to find a stolen car), that evidence would likely be excluded. However, if while looking for a stolen car, the officer enters a garage (which is covered by the warrant) and inside he finds a pile of stolen license plates on the floor of the garage, those would be seized and would not be excluded.


Can you be charged if you have a warrant in the computer but you have already took care of the warrant?

Yes. HOWEVER in normal circumstances the dispatcher who finds the warrant in the computer will call the primary (or issuing) agency for verbal confirmation before you would be booked on the warrant. This will most often stop service of a warrant that is still in the computer by mistake.


What info should be on a search warrant?

The U.S. Constitution in the 4th Amendment dictates a warrant must say where it is to be executed, what the police are allowed to look for, and if it's for a person, must identify them. There may be additional restrictions under a state constitution or state laws.When it's a search warrant, what the police are allowed to look for is critical because the search must be reasonable. Say the cops have a warrant to search your place for a stolen baby grand piano. Okay, we know what a piano looks like, they can only search places where it would be reasonable for a piano to be located. So, say a cop looks in a desk drawer and finds crystal meth, is it admissible in court? No, because it's unreasonable to expect to find a baby grand piano in the drawer of a desk. But if the cop finds the crystal meth in the stolen piano, then it is admissible.

Will you get caught if you fly out of IL on Felony Bond?

Probably not, but if the court finds out you have fled the jurisdiction they will put a warrant out for you. Even worse - when your bailbondsman finds out he will definitely come after you and return you so that he does not lose his bond money.


Can you travel with a DUI warrant?

Travel in-between states shouldn't get you in any trouble unless some state trooper decides to run your out-of-state plate, license, and finds your warrant. Travel to Canada is probably not going to be possible with a warrant out for your arrest, and even with a DUI conviction you will need to apply for a temporary residence permit.
