query: who has the power to issue a search warrant or a warrant of arrest

pos: Search warrant Fourth Amendment, search warrants must be reasonable and specific. This means that a search warrant must reasonably identify the items to be searched for and the place where law enforcement officials are authorized to search for those items. Unless an exception to the warrant requirement applies, the search of other buildings or areas of a building, persons or vehicles, or the search for additional items that do not reasonably fall under the original warrant, will normally require additional search warrants. To obtain a search warrant, an officer must prove to a magistrate or judge that probable cause exists for the

pos: Arrest warrant Arrest warrant An arrest warrant is a warrant issued by a judge or magistrate on behalf of the state, which authorizes the arrest and detention of an individual, or the search and seizure of an individual's property. Arrest warrants are issued by a judge or justice of the peace under the Criminal Code. Once the warrant has been issued, section 29 of the Code requires that the arresting officer must give notice to the accused of the existence of the warrant, the reason for it, and produce it if requested, if it is feasible to do so.

A valid arrest warrant must be issued by a neutral judge or magistrate, who has determined there is probable cause for an arrest, based upon sworn testimony or an affidavit in support of the petition for a warrant. The arrest warrant must specifically identify the person to be arrested. If a law enforcement affiant provides false information or shows reckless disregard for the truth when providing an affidavit or testimony in support of an arrest warrant, that may constitute grounds to invalidate the warrant. These minimum requirements stem from the language contained in the Fourth Amendment. Federal

There are four subcategories of arrest without warrant: United States law recognizes the common law arrest under various jurisdictions.

A warrant is usually issued by a court and is directed to a sheriff, a constable, or a police officer.

The court reasoned that since the purpose of a warrant is to allow for judicial review of determinations by law enforcement regarding probable cause, an arrest warrant is distinct from a search warrant in that the probable-cause determination under review is different. An arrest warrant certifies that there is probable cause that a person has committed a crime and therefore the police is justified in seizing (i.e., taking into custody) the subject of the warrant.

neg: Probable cause Probable cause In United States criminal law, probable cause is the standard by which police authorities have reason to obtain a warrant for the arrest of a suspected criminal or the issuing of a search warrant.

The standard also applies to personal or property searches. The term comes from the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution: "Probable" in this case may relate to

Allowing the police to enter any place where they suspected the subject of an arrest warrant might be would pave the way for abuse because police could, for example, search the home of every known family member and acquaintance of the subject. Accordingly, the Supreme Court reversed the Fifth Circuit's ruling that an arrest warrant justifies the search of a third party's home and remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with
