What is a Search Warrant?
A search warrant is an order issued by a judge that authorizes law enforcement to conduct a search of a specific location. Before a warrant may be issued, a judge must find there is probable cause to search the location. That means that a judge must believe that there is enough preliminary evidence that a crime is occurring to allow the police further investigation. Because warrants can be contested in court, it is important that you have an attorney review any search warrants presented to you.
