If they have a warrant to search the house, that means anything and everything in the house

WARRANT! I knopw this for a fact! my boy had his comped buy the fuzz and they cracked it at the station. since they did it without a warrant he got off good luck bro

It depends what they are searching for. If it can fit in the safe then they can search the safe for it.

What you been up to then?


DigitalGhost
If they are raiding your house, they probably already have a warrant that states what they plan to search.

They need a warrant to search your house, and with that warrant they can search everything.

prob need warrant

In England and Wales...they would be covered for the safe on the initial search warrant! In the U.S.....haven't a bloody clue!!

There has to be a warrant to raid a house. warrants tend to be very specific. If it says "all premises" or something to that affect, yes. Chances are the warrant covers all of the property and everything in/on it.

I had a theft last week and know for sure its you who did it.

I THINK THEY NEED A WARRANT FOR THAT

They can not "raid" your house without a warrant ( either arrest or search) normally if they are doing a raid, they will have both.

They can do about anything they want today!

well, from wad i know, a warrant actually should mean that the officer has rights to search every single corner and items that are in the house. which means inclusive of the security safe, if it is placed in the premises of your house.

It depends on what the warrant that they have says they are looking for.... If they are looking for drugs then yes they can go in that safe if the safe is the size that drugs would fit into. But if the warrant says they are looking for a person and the safe is small and a person would not fit in the safe then no they can not go in the safe.
Now if you have let them in your house and told them they could look around with no warrant then yes they can go in the safe. They can not cause damage to your property and have to stop when you say they have to get out.

they need a warrant to search your house and every thing in it. if they dont have a warrant they cant search

It depends on what they are searching for.

For example, if they obtain a search warrant to look for a stolen shotgun in your home, then they can only search in places where a shotgun can be concealed. If the safe that you have isn’t big enough to hold a shotgun, then they can’t search there.

If they are searching for drugs, then, basically, they can search everywhere. Because you can hide drugs anywhere.

they need one just to enter your home..... without one anything they find is not submersible in court.... if they have one and you refuse to open the safe they can use any means to "Gain entry" .


buddgirl

i beleive that they need a warrant to raid you house in the first place


bostonianinmo
If the warrant is for the entire premesis, they can open the safe. If the warrant is just for one room, they can open the safe it it's in that room. Typically a warrant will be for the entire premesis.

if they come to search your house that includes everything in it including you so dont believe they don't.


Stuart
With a general search warrant, they can search the safe along with the rest of the house and grounds.

It depends on what and where the warrant was issued for. If it's for the house itself, then yes because the safe is in the house. The only exception to this rule is your computer. In order to boot that up and see what they can find can only be done if it's specifically stated in the warrant, and/or to confiscate it too.


Corky
They would likely need the key as well!


kja63
What did the warrant for the raid state? What was the purpose of the raid?


sicknote50
If the police raid your house they will have a warrant, which allows them to search all your home, this means they can take up floorboards, look in safes but you need to open it. If you don't they can get someone to open it.
If you got nothing to hide there's no problem.
This is so in the United Kingdom anyway.


laurad_16
They need a warrent to search everything in the house if they don't have one you could sue them for just raiding in your house.


Uncle Joe
If they're raiding your house they will have a search warrant anyway so they can insist on access to a safe.

Theyd have to blow the safe open, or confiscate it and have a technical Demo team crack it open. They are not supposed to open personal property without a warrant. Your house would require a warrant. But a safe would require a seperate warrant. Because they need the House warrant to get in and look around. It is your personal right to put something under lock and key.

And dont toss drugs down drains, they will check the pipes if they suspect you enough.


wcaton
wow how stupid are you what did you do to get your house searched lol you are going on cops man


Bdawg85
My questions is do you need a whole separate warrant to search a safe that is bolted to the ground or basically anything?
