Very. This is why Detectives are taught to be broad in their interpretation of what they are looking for in the description in any warrant. They look for illegal drugs, not a small stash of pot. They also look for any other related items that might indicate drug-dealing, which means large sums of cash and guns. A search warrant for a person is typically just that, thay are looking for a person, and not anything else, although they can confiscate anything else illegal, if they see it.

∙ 14y agoA search warrant is an order signed by a judge that gives police officers the right to search a specific place for specific objects or materials. An officer must have "probable cause" to believe that a search will produce evidence of a crime. Probable cause means that the officer has a reasonable belief that a person is guilty of a crime. This belief must be based on factual evidence, not just on suspicion. The warrant must be particular- it must describe the locations to be search and the items to be searched and it also must be issued by a neutral and detached magistrate.
