Re: Search Warrant Procedures
I read something recently concerning showing a search warrant. However, it may be a procedure. I don't believe it is required by law. There has to be so much apprehension by the police, who are searching a residence, that it could lead to violence with a deadly weapon, that making sure that they leave a copy of the search warrant is probably not high on their priorities.
If charges are filed, you'll get to review the search warrant at the time of the arraignment.
