Do the police have to show you a search warrant when they search your house. They said they had one but never produce it.
Any info much appreciated. |

The whole point of getting a search warrant is that the Constitution requires an impartial judge or magistrate consider the situation and agree with the police that there is probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed, and evidence will be found at the place specified. If the police don't produce the search warrant at the door before starting the search, how does the homeowner know they are telling the truth.
No search warrant is necessary, however, if the homeowner consents to let the police come in and search. If you have doubts about the legality of a search warrant issued against you or your property, you'll need to discuss the matter with your attorney. Remember that police don't need consent to search if they have a warrant. If officers ask for consent to search, always refuse, even if they claim that they have a warrant or that they can easily get one. |
