Re: Is A Verbal Warrant Legal

There is no such thing, legally, as a "verbal search warrant." Either it is in writing or it doesn't exist.

His remedy is a Motion to Suppress evidence based upon an illegal search.

If this is important to you, you should have the representation of an experienced criminal attorney to advise you. Otherwise, expect to be convicted.
