Recently i have done some reaserch on the authority or power of a warrant to search your home -

Im sure there is alot of people in the same situation as me that would like to be informed as to the status of their security..

The main topic i am focusing on here is:

Does a Warrant permit the police/dea/etc to search outside your home
- For example -

John Doe is growing in a shed 20metres from his house that he ownes - They knock on his door with a Warrant to search his house.. Can they proceed to his shed OR does this require its own Warrant?

(I dont think this has been covered yet - and if so.. not extensively)

Alot of people get 'done' by LEO because they have a complete lack or very limited knowledge to their rights - Im hoping this will clear up alot of bad 'clouds' of information floating around..

So informed information or just what you know people -

Yea, usually if they can get a warrant, they've pretty much got you. Thus they specify where they are looking. Another thing is, say they are looking for a grow operation in your house. They can't search your drawers. You can't fit a grow in a drawer. Say they are looking for stolen tv's or something (just an example) they can't look in say a medicine cabinet. But...anything they can see thats illegal can be taken and you can be charged.

Usually when police are given a search warrent it states clearly that they have permission to search the WHOLE property. Including the Shed Outside.

They actually get a search warrent to search the land and any building on that piece of land. To the FULL extent. Meaning your drawers and such.

Like some1 said if they get a search warrant to search for a grow room they arent gonna search your drawers. LOL think again. They are gonna wanna search for any pot you may have around including in your drawers.

Thanks for the feedback people:

Thats what i thought too -

But ive read cases where a Warrant has been presented - They searched the house and found nothing - Proceeded to 'outside' constructions and found Marijuana growing or some other illegal activity - Then in court the judge found that the warrant didnt have authority to search other than the main premise and the case was thrown out ..

Also - What if somebody else lived in that 'shed' or outside construction - ?

who owns, who lives in, who renting, who sleeping over. as long as their search warrent gives them permission to search where, they are gonna search there.

You should post this question to the Lawyer says Hi thread, warrents, and whatnot seem to be their area of expertise.
