Unclear what the questioner is asking. . . that the warrant was supposed to be served at a specific time, on a specific date? The only time/date that I am aware of that appears on search warrants is the time/date that it was prepared and the judge or magistrate signed it.
If the question is referring to a 'drop-dead' date by which the warrant must be served or becomes invalid. . . then the answer depends on the type of warrant it is, and what it was issued for.
I heard that you can ask the police to do a free warrant search on you at any time. Can you ask them to do a free warrant search on someone else?
No. It's not the police's job to show you the warrant as long as they have a valid one. By the time they leave your house you will have one posted on your door or given to you personally. As long as its it's a valid warrant i.e. at the department just authorized its ok. Your entitled to a copy of it which you will get during the search if it is not already present at the time of the search. When the enter your house at that specific time if any officer has a warrant its valid. If they enter your house in the process of getting a warrant under the assumption that they will receive one its invalid. Actually having the warrant at the scene during the time of entry is not required.
A Search Warrant
Ive heard of police with a search warrant finding something non-related to the search warrant, and then issuing a new search warrant on the spot regarding the new issue.
Yes. The occupant/resident need not be present at the time the warrant is executed.
An arrest warrant doesn't care where it is served, the address is not important. A search warrant is valid for the address or premise listed in the warrant. Whether it is your address or not will not change the validity of the warrant.
Question makes no sense. A search warrant is a search warrant regardless of WHERE the premises is physically located.
The the place or person being searched. What item(s) is to be seized. A copy of the affidavit use to obtain the search warrant. The name of the person swearing to the affidavit. The time at which the search warrant may be executed.
It could be one. There are search warrants and arrest warrants. If you have a search warrant, the police are entitled to search your property. After executing the search warrant, if the police establish probable cause to believe that you committed a crime, they can arrest you. If you have an arrest warrant, it is only a matter of time before the police find you and execute the arrest warrant.
They usually expire within a certain time-frame and are not good 'forever,' but his can vary from state to state or jusrisdiction to jurisdiction. Most search warrants are served ASAP since the items the warrant specifies may be moveable and might no longer be there if they wait too long. However, the affidavit in support of the warrant may request a certain date or time-frame during which law enforcment may wish to exercise it (e.g.: only on weekends, etc).
Technically they cant unless they have a search warrant not an arrest warrant.
A specified time span will be indicated on the warrant or if not stated it is presumed to be the time span that is provided by existing jurisdictional laws.
