Under Indiana Law, an arrest warrant acts as a search warrant, but:
1. Only for the home of the person named in the warrant;
2. Only if the the Sheriff “has reason to believe” the person named in the warrant is at home, and;
3. They can only use the arrest warrant as a search warrant for the residence one time. If they go in and the person is not there, they may not go in at a later time unless they get a separate search warrant.
Just FYI.
What sort of restrictions are on this arrst/search warrant? Typically, a search warrant describes the places to be searched and the items being looked for. If you are searching for a stolen airplane, for example, you wouldn’t be allowed to look in the fridge.
I didn’t use my turn signal on an off ramp, because I wasn’t sure which way I was going to turn. I was checking gas prices at the gas stations signs. Highway Patrol pulls me over, another young punk they gave a gun and a badge to. Says he will write me a warning. But wants to search my car. This is in the middle of Iowa, or something. I said, “Nope, you will not search my car.” So guess what, he writes me a ticket. I used it to clean off my dipstick as I checked my oil when I got to the service station. What an a-hole.
