There are too many factors to consider how long it will take. One thing is clear though when they threaten to go get a warrant, they do not have enough probably cause or believe there is an imminent danger to ignore the requirement of a warrant. So, while they are gone getting their warrant, do what you need to do.

That depends on the time of day. availability of a judge to sign the warrant and whether or not the locality allows for phone in warrants. It could take a few hours, or not very long at all. The officer is likely to stay outside or station someone outside to watch the house while getting the warrant and at any time a police officer has "just cause" to think a crime is being committed, he or she may enter without a warrant. What the cop is really doing when they say this is informing you that they are able to get a warrant, so you might as well let them in. This may be a ploy, because if, in fact they could get a warrant, they would already have one.

Depends on what they are looking for and if they have probable cause to get the warrant. It could take as little as 30 min. or it could take a few hours.
If they were already going there with probable cause then they might already have the warrant written up and were just awaiting the judges signature in the hopes they would not need it if you gave consent.

could be as fast an 1/2 hour. Usually a few hours at the least, or longer if they have to write a brief. The police have to show clear probable cause before any decent and fair judge will sign the warrant. Having a hunch doesn't count.

It depends on the circumstances and the time of day and the day of the week. If I needed a warrant bad enough it could be done over the phone in a matter of minutes if the Judge or Magistrate were immediately available.

Depends on the time of day and the Judge the officer goes to for a warrant.

you may take a glance on the warrant because of the fact there are 2 types: (a million) A seek warrant, and (2) an arrest warrant. in the event that they have a seek warrant for the homestead, you may enable them to in. in the event that they have an arrest warrant you may tell the police the guy they're finding for isn't there and by utilising regulation they can't enter -- yet whilst they locate out you have been mendacity they'd arrest you for obstruction of justice. considering the fact which you won a letter interior the mail, your ultimate guess is to call the police and clarify the area. they could interview you, yet once you may show them you do not know something on the subject of the guy whose call seems on the warrant they are going to flow away you on my own.

The cop has to go back to the station, type out the warrant, then locate a judge to sign it. A couple of hours at the most.

Even if you have nothing to hide, tell them to get a warrant. It is your right. Exercise it. Heck, he has to prove to a judge he has just cause to get a warrant. Maybe he won't be able to get one.

It could take a day, or it could take a week. I guess it depends on the judge signing the warrant and how serious they think it is.
