Officer discretion in law enforcement refers to the ability of police officers to make decisions based on their judgment and interpretation of a situation. This discretion can impact the decision-making process by allowing officers to use their experience and knowledge to determine the best course of action in a given situation. However, it can also lead to inconsistencies in how laws are enforced and potential biases in decision-making.

Unless you're an law enforcement officer, you can't obtain a standard Search Warrant (if you are, your Sergeant can help with this). You have the chance to obtain an Ex Partite warrant, but it's unlikley without at least the tacit cooperation of law enforcement. An affadavit won't help as you can't execute due process without being an officer of the law or a duly deputized agent.
