150 Search Warrants, Court Orders, and Affidavits

YOU ASKED FOR 150 SEARCH WARRANTS IN DIGITAL FORMAT FOR EASY COPY AND PASTING-HERE IT IS!

Search warrants are one of the most powerful tools available to law enforcement officers. However, one of the greatest challenges in drafting a search warrant can come while trying to accurately describe or articulate the person, place, or thing to be searched and the items to be seized.

This book is designed to assist law enforcement officers who have little or no experience in writing a search warrant affidavit, as well as, experienced investigators who have written search warrants in the past and who want a reference of both common and unusual templates. If you are looking for a legal manual full of case citations and legal theory then this is the wrong book for you. If you are looking for practical search warrant and affidavit templates covering some of the most common subjects, and some unusual ones, you've come to the right place.

Every search warrant template, court order, and affidavit was taken from actual court documents after having been reviewed by a magistrate and authorized. Each of the subjects covered in this book are drawn from a review of hundreds of federal, state, and local affidavits used to successfully create search warrants which were subsequently authorized by a judge of a magistrate.

The 150 search warrant, court order, and affidavit templates in this book include:
