cops/search warrants * 1
    #2477511 - 03/26/04 03:34 PM (19 years, 10 months ago)

how do they get search warrants? can they just get a search warrant because somebody says your doing something illegal like selling drugs out of your house and go on someones word to get a warrant? or how about if a gang of people said the same thing, is that good enough?

or must you actually be an idiot and sell something illegal out of your house to someone working for cops for good enough proof to get a warrant to search?

what is 'probable cause' to come to somebodies door and be like 'im going to search this place for whatever the fuck it says on the warrant'

They cant just come to your house and search it on someones word. BUT what they can do on someones word is set up surveillance(video, personal) and if from that they see that there is heavy traffic or something they can then move onto phone taps. It's pretty much a hierachy of surveillance...they must follow certain steps in order to prove to the judge that a search warrant is neccessary. Remember thow they cant just knock down your door. they must announce themselves and give you 15 seconds to open it on your own before they bust it down. this law was just passed this year.

> can they just get a search warrant because somebody says your doing something illegal like selling drugs out of your house and go on someones word to get a warrant?

This is a tough one. The cops have to convince a judge that there is probable cause to search a home. If the judge is convinced that the cops have cause, then a warrant will be signed for a search.

Most judges wont sign a search warrant (for a home) based on the word of a single informant. But... the cops can easily doctor up the info and get the signature they are seeking, either by working or lying.

A cop will write an affidavite for a search warrant that will look something like:

An informant identified the residence of Mr. XYZ located at ABC as a location from which illegal drugs are being sold. The informant bought illegal drugs from Mr. XYZ at ABC on three different occasions in the last two weeks. An undercover unit was sent to observe the home at ABC. The undercover unit observed a steady flow of people entering the home at odd hours of the night for several nights in a row. As an officer trained to deal with illegal narcotics, I began to suspect that the location is being used to traffic illegal drugs. The trash was taken from location ABC and drug residue was detected. The trash also contained empty containers for household chemicals which can also be used in the production of illegal drugs. Mr. XYZ was recently released from prison and has a felony record for drug possession. With 18 years of experience, it is my professional opinion that the house located at ABC is being used to traffic, and possibly to manufacture illegal drugs. Etc...
