First step is getting FIR lodged.
Second is stamp of approval by higher authorities to validate the same
Third step is getting a search warrant (which has time validity generally three days)
If the search warrant was faked at lower levels of police then its vague and open to punishment
Another View: If you are the owner/resident of the premises on which the warrant was served you should have been left with a copy of the warrant at the conclusion of the search.
If you didn't get one, go to the agency which served the warrant and request a copy.
If you were arrested as a result of the warrant service, your case file will have a copy of the search warrant enclosed in it as part of the investigation which led to its issuance, and either you or your attorney will have access to it.
HOWEVER - if you are not involved in any way with the property that was searched you have no right to obtain a copy of the warrant, ESPECIALLY if the case is still open and under active investigation.
You will not be able to obtain a copy of any open-case paperwork unless/until the case is adjudicated in court. THEN, if you wish to see it, you can file a F.O.I. Act request.
You don't get a copy of the search warrant unless you are the owner or legal inhabitant of the premises on which the warrant was served. Then (according to the laws of your jurisdiction), at the conclusion of the search you may get a copy of the warrant along with the list of seized items.
It's generally required that a person with whom is being searched or having their property searched under the terms of a search warrant be served with a copy upon the beginning or completion of a search. If the warrant was lost you could request a copy from the clerk of courts. You may be able to also have the evidence suppressed because you were not properly served with a copy of the warrant upon the beginning or ending of a search.
Yes. The police can search any items if they have a warrant. It does not matter that no one is there to receive the warrant. The police only have to leave a copy of the warrant at the residence.
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.
If you never received a receipt for the property taken during a search warrant, you should contact the law enforcement agency that executed the search warrant and inform them about the issue. Request a copy of the receipt to ensure proper documentation of the seized items. It is crucial to have a record of the property taken for legal purposes.
The police must give a copy of the search warrant to the person in charge of the premises at the time the search is conducted. The police must also leave a "return" of the warrant, listing any items seized in the search.Additional: The above information may be a requirement in the contributors own jurisdiction. In others, it is NOT necessary to show or give a copy of the warrant to the individual in charge of the premises, (if any are even present). Mere knowledge of the existence of a valid warrant is sufficient enough to execute it.
No, if law enforcement officers reasonably believe that a valid warrant has been issued, the officers may begin the search. The warrant does not have to be with them, and the warrant does not have to be given to the owner.
A Search Warrant
In New Mexico, the occupant of a house being searched should be shown the original 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.
Question makes no sense. A search warrant is a search warrant regardless of WHERE the premises is physically located.
Although the internal policies of some departments may suggest that a copy of the warrant be left with the resident, this is mainly a public relations step rather than a legal requirement that one be produced before the search can be conducted.If the warrant was, in fact, "sealed" then there is no need to give a copy to the resident, regardless of anything else.If you were arrested and property was seized as a result of the service of a warrant, in order for it to be used in any subsequent court action, a legitimate copy of the warrant MUST be produced as part of the prosecution documents in order to present the evidence in court, otherwise it all becomes "fruit of the poisoned tree" and unuseable in the case.
