I have served many search warrants without anyone even being at the residence. the only requirements were to leave a copy of the warrant at the place that was searched, along with a list of anything that was confiscated.

This can vary by state, in some places all they have to have is a warrant, in a rush, someone can have a judge sign it, and they call the officers at the scene and tell them they have a valid warrant and will search the house, and the warrant will come over latter but it is already signed.
For example, the police have an arrest warrant for you, and arrest you. ( take you into custody) but they want to search your house, so they call the DA or the dept ( who ever writes up the search request) and they take it over to the judge to sign, once he signs it, it is a legal warrant, and they call back to the house where the officers are waiting, and they go ahead and start the search.

As long as they have a signed warrant they can search. Remember that they must have a pretty strong case against you or they wouldn't be able to get the warrant in the first place. Usually they will show the warrant as soon as they have secured the premises.

They have to show you a signed search warrant before they can step foot on the premises.

In California, search for warrants ought to in elementary words be served with techniques from peace officials, and ought to in elementary words be received to check out felonies. This incorporates all activities searching, except the warrant specifies others ie. crime lab, pc techs. #a million rule is enable them search for and strive against it in court docket. in case you ar one hundred% constructive that is undesirable make confident they discover each and everything, then even as that is excluded each and each and every of the data is lengthy gone. #2 in elementary words the police 'favor warrants' different persons can search for without them, they could properly be breaking different guidelines, or not. like even as a md rummages your artwork locker, he can, yet a cop can not. Bounty hunters are yet another good social gathering, they dont favor warrants to seek for data of the area of the bypass.

under the patriot act your house and property may be searched by homeland security WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE and IF THEY FIND NOTHING YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW.....
so much for our constitutional rights in the land of the free.
however local police can take you into custody, hold you while they get the warrant then go search while you are still in custody

if you invite them in they dont have to show you nothing, so ask some questions before allowing the police to abuse their authority
