Search Warrant

Alright, AFOAF is in a fucked up scenario. He's apparently being blamed for something, yet he doesn't even know what it is. He hasn't done anything to anyone, ever. It seems to be something of that nature he's being blamed for. All that he knows is that the guy told them everything, "past and present." He's pretty freaked out and doesn't know what to do. Any suggestions? If a search warrant is for one thing they can't charge you with other things unless they get other search warrants for it right?

Get all the illegal shit out the place if you suspect a search.

Once a warrant has been issued to search your premices, I'm fairly certain that the searching parties are free to openly discover and pursue any illegal activities that may be present. Think about it, if you are stopped in your car for any reason, anything found after the fact will be added to the charges. Same thing if the cops are called to your house for a domestic disturbance and they find a loaded bong on your coffee table.

Be careful with this. It is not uncommon for police that do not have enough cause to get a judge to sign a search warrant to threaten people instead. The cops then sit outside waiting for the person to panic and snag them with all their illegal shit on the way to the trash.

I'd be interested to hear more details....
You said some guy told your friend this... is this guy a cop? Parent, bother, cousin?
If a cop told your friend this, be careful.
If it was someone other than a cop, pull their card Ask them why or what "past and present." is suppose to mean. Play dumb, pull their card and gather information. Maybe this guy is just waiting for you to freely talk and incriminate yourself?

Someone's word IS enough to search a house with probable cause. Get everything that has to do with drugs out of there, including ziplock bags. If you have coke in your house, get all of your powdered sugar and flour out, too, just to be on the safe side. I've heard of cops confiscating that and calling it a "cutting agent" and adding it to the weight of the coke they found.
If they don't have a warrant, DO NOT LET THEM IN! This is your legal god given right. Make sure you see the warrant and read over it. You don't want some fake ass warrant or somebody else's fooling you. Cops do that shit.

One last thought... if cops do show up at your house with a warrant, there isn't a lot you can do. They are going to show the warrant to the home owner. Verify that the warrant has a signature by a judge, and that the correct address is listed. If either of these two items have been overlooked, be polite and demand that the police end their illegal search and leave your house immediately.

Thanks much, my friend appreciates this. Apparently someone's house was broken in to. The person wouldn't even tell my friend what had happened, he had to find out from a completely different friend. Anyway, I thought that "what you see is what you get" sort of applies to a warrant scenario. Anyway, this needs to get cleared up, because he definitely had nothing to do with it; all he did was go to school, eat some pizza and get two job applications that day..... I hate people sometimes.

Go to the cops. I know this sounds crazy but if you are under investigation, or you fear you are, walk into the precinct. Tell them you have been told that you may be under investigation for a crime. Ask to speak to the detective. Tell them you have nothing to do with the crime and you would be happy to answer any questions they may have. Since you are innocent, you have nothing to fear. This would be a lot less suspicious than moving a lot of items out of your house while you may be under investigation. Think about it. Moving all your stuff may look like you're moving stolen goods. Guilty folks don't walk into a police precinct... they are escorted.

I think one time my government teacher said that a search warrant can only be used for what its issued for. Example: Search warrant issued for marijuana. They find no marijuana, but instead find a mushroom set up. They can confiscate these, but cant press charges. Dont quote me on that though.

They can and will press charges. The charges should get dropped because the search warrant was not broad enough, but that will be up to a judge to decide.

"Get all the illegal shit out the place if you suspect a search. " destroy it, burn it, just dont throw it in the trash.
-------------------- PEACE zippoz "in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

I had the feds come to my house, they probably did not have a search warrant but my Mom does not know her rights, so yeah. They were looking for very very very expensive goods. They saw a few pots, thought I was growing weed, so I had to show them the seeds. My jars and PC were right in the open but they did not say anything about that. They asked me a few questions and all I told them is "I don't know." After they left I ran for my stash, threw away my empty syringes and spore prints.
