Which type of warrant is issued by a judge after a defendant fails to show up for a court date?
Bench warrant
Bench warrant. If you fail to appear in court when ordered, the judge can issue a warrant for your arrest. You could be taken into custody at any time after the warrant is issued.
What are two common exceptions to the exclusionary rule?
Three exceptions to the exclusionary rule are “attenuation of the taint,” “independent source,” and “inevitable discovery.”
What is the difference between a search and a seizure by police?
A search involves law enforcement officers going through part or all of individual’s property, and looking for specific items that are related to a crime that they have reason to believe has been committed. A seizure happens if the officers take possession of items during the search.
What happens when a judge issues a search warrant?
A judge issues a search warrant to authorize law enforcement officers to search a particular location and seize specific items. To obtain a search warrant, police must show probable cause that a crime was committed and that items connected to the crime are likely to be found in the place specified by the warrant.
Can a judge with a bias issue a warrant?
Judges can have biases, and those biases could get in the way of fairness. Only a neutral magistrate can issue a warrant. If he has any outside connection to the case, he could make an unfair decision. 4. The Warrant Limits the Search to a Specific Area and the Seizure to Specific Items
