Whats the Difference between search and arrest warrant?

Answer 1

A search warrant allows the officers to enter and search your home or office, whatever is specified in the warrant. An arrest warrant allows the officers to take the offender into custody AND search the area where the offender was located.

Answer 2

The difference is that a search warrant basically gives permission to police to search the home/work of a suspect or person of interest, whereas a warrant for arrest allows police to arrest the suspect (take into custody.)

Answer 3

A search warrant allows an official to search a certain place, but no arrest can generally be made unless something illegal is found. A warrant of arrest is strictly that...the police officer has authority specifically to arrest the person. Normally, the officer can search the immediate area for other threats when arresting someone.

Answer 4

A search warrant is issued by a judge and based on probable cause. Consent is issued by the owner of the property that's being searched. If the owner does not give consent, then the officers will have to get a warrant before they are allowed to search the property.
