Re: search warrants

Sure, all search warrants must be issued and executed within a resonable amount of time. Generally, this is a very short period of time.

Re: search warrants

Search warrants need to be executed within reasonable time or they become stale and their validity can be challenged. What is reasonable depends on facts and circumstances of the situation. Generally, if they are not executed pretty much immediately there are grounds to challenge them.
