Woke up stoned bro lol.
At least a week bro. Been reading about how they obtain a warrent today and found this interesting....
Some places like larger cities have judges and magistrates that work nights or shifts so it is just a quick phone call and the warrant is signed. The police do not need the warrant in hand, they only need that it has been issued, so they can act upon it.
Now smaller towns or rural areas this will not be the case and depending on the need it may take more time to find the magistrate or judge to get the warrant issued.
Also there are exigent circumstances where no warrant is needed. This is an emergency situation like they were in pursuit of a suspect that ran into your home, or they saw you walking in with a bag full of dope, and had to act before you could destroy the evidence, or maybe your wife yelled that you were abusing her so they would come in to protect her.
There are many reasons, and none of them need proof only probable cause to issue a warrant. Mere suspicion is not cause for a warrant to be issued.
The search is as thorough as the warrant describes it to be. Say they are looking for drugs then the search would be very thorough since you can hide drugs in such small places and varied locations. If the search is for as another answer stated something large like a wide screen TV then the search would not include inside your underwear drawer. The warrant must also state the places to be searched if it states the home listed at 1234 main street a shed that was behind the house and not in the curtilage of the home then that would not be an authorized location to search.
I like the bit that says mere suspicion is not cause for a warrant to be issued and that they would need another warrant to search the shed next door.
One issue I have is the OG drying in a damp shed....bit worried it will rot but hay what can you do.
