Yes, a judge must sign a search warrant for it to be legally valid.

The officer must then have it with them when they go to wherever the warrant is for. The warrant is also only good for 24 hours, unless otherwise specified.Added: An officer applying for a warrant does NOT have to produce evidence to the judge of the offense, he only has to swear an oath that Probable Cause exists for the search and/or arrest. Also - although an issuing judge MAY place a service time limit on the warrant, they do not necessarily automatically expire within a 24 hour time limit.

Very. This is why Detectives are taught to be broad in their interpretation of what they are looking for in the description in any warrant. They look for illegal drugs, not a small stash of pot. They also look for any other related items that might indicate drug-dealing, which means large sums of cash and guns. A search warrant for a person is typically just that, thay are looking for a person, and not anything else, although they can confiscate anything else illegal, if they see it.
