Evidence Of Criminal Activity In Columbus GA

You can refuse the police permission to conduct a search. The police officer generally performs a search to look for evidence of criminal activity. You have the right to refuse permission for a search. You are entitled to say "No."

A search warrant is issued by a judge authorizing law enforcement officers to search a particular location and seize specific items. The judge will issue the warrant only if the police shows probable cause that a crime was committed and that items connected to the crime are likely to be found in the place specified by the warrant. Police may only search the particular area and seize the specific items specified in the search warrant. Police may search outside the scope of the warrant only if they are protecting their safety or the safety of others, or if they are acting to prevent the destruction of evidence.

There four requirements for a valid search warrant: (1) the warrant must be filed in good faith by a law enforcement officer; (2) the warrant must be based on reliable information showing probable cause to search; (3) the warrant must be issued by a neutral and detached magistrate; and (4) the warrant must state specifically the place to be searched and the items to be seized. Police may seize objects not specified in the warrant only if they are in plain view during the course of the search.
