Probable cause or warrant
They must provide a judge with probable cause to do a search.
First, you cannot obtain a search warrant. Police and prosecutors can, but only if they have enough evidence that there has been a crime, and that searching might solve it. Search warrants must be issued by judges.
you must abide by a court order.............or be in contempt of court
Probable cause.
an arrest warrant.
Appear. A warrant is an order from the court for something to be done. A bench warrant is a order to any police officer (which they must obey) to arrest and deliver a specific person to the court. Going in on your own should cancel the warrant, and may let you avoid arrest.
It would be hard, if not impossible, for them to open it without your key! They could issue a search warrant if they had probably cause to suspect that items contained in such a secured environment were illegal.
In order to obtain a warrant, a police officer / prosecutor must ask a judge to issue the warrant (the application) and submit evidence (usually his own sworn testimony in the form of a written affidavit) that the search/seizure is supported by probable cause.Additional; The "application" for a warrant is called an "affidavit." The statement of probable cause contained in the affidavit MUST satisfy the issuing judge that sufficient probable cause exists to satisfy the law. ONLY after the judge signs the affidavit is a legally sufficient warrant issued.
The question is VERY unclear. As far as a warrant is concenred - in order for a warrant to be applied for, FIRST a report of a criminal offense must be made to the police.
A search order must be signed by a judge to be valid. Police cannot conduct any search for which a search order is needed if it does not have a valid signature.
Not specifically, but the applications for all warrants must be sworn and attested to by means of an AFFIDAVIT.
