The Fascinating World of Criminal Law
What is a search warrant? A search warrant is a court order that allows the police to search a specific location for specified objects at a specific time. If a judge is convinced that there is "probable cause" of either criminal activity or contraband at a place to be searched, he or she will issue and sign a search warrant. However, if officers have a warrant to search your house, they don't get automatic authority to also search your car parked outside on the curb; or, if the object is a stolen refrigerator, they can't look through your shirt drawer.
In general, the law is very interesting, but I find criminal law to be the most fascinating because in many cases a person's life is at stake.
ON TO VICTORY!
