Any authority wishing to enter or search your property or vehicle must first obtain a court issued warrant. Below are some extra stipulations that also apply.
- If an illegal activity is in plain sight of an officer he may use his discretion to invoke probable cause and perform a search.
- Any evidence obtained during an illegal search may not be used in court, also known already as the "fruit of the poisonous tree"
- Punishment for any illegal search will be a severe fine, suspension or in some circumstances expulsion from the force.
- If the sole witnesses in any search is officers only then there may be further investigation if requested.
