How long will someone have to wait in jail from a search warrant?
If they were arrested as a result of a search warrant being executed - it all depends on what the search warrant was for (what crime/offense) and whether the evidence being searched for was found (I'm assuming it was).
What factors determine whether a search is reasonable or not?
Factors that determine whether a search is reasonable include obtaining a warrant from a judge, having probable cause to conduct the search, ensuring the search falls within the scope of the warrant, and conducting the search without violating constitutional rights such as the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure.

Can an officer inspect the outside of a vehicle without a warrant?
The idea behind a 'search warrant' is that you have a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the warrant gives the police a legal right to invade that privacy. So if they want to search you, your property, or your vehicle, they need that warrant. However, the outside of your vehicle does not have that expectation of privacy. An officer does not need a warrant to inspect your car's outside more closely, whether it is to check the condition of the tyres, the presence of paint scrapings, or perhaps to narrow down the location of a suspicious odour. On a side note, in some places an officer can 'search' inside a vehicle without a warrant, ie, if he saw a bag of cannabis on a car seat, through the window, he could use that as probable cause to get a formal search warrant to retrieve it. Things left out in the open like this inside a vehicle have a lowered expectation of privacy.
What is an original warrant?
An original warrant is a legal document issued by a judicial authority that grants law enforcement the permission to conduct a search or make an arrest based on probable cause. It is typically based on evidence presented to a judge or magistrate, who determines whether there is sufficient justification for the warrant. Original warrants are essential for upholding the Fourth Amendment rights, ensuring that searches and seizures are conducted legally and fairly.
