Document Summary
A document that permits a police officer to arrest a specific person for a specified reason. A written statement sworn by an informant alleging that a person has committed a specific criminal offense. For a search to be reasonable: it must be authorized by law, the law itself must be reasonable, the manner in which the search was carried out must be reasonable. A document that permits the police to search a specific location and take items that might be evidence of a crime. A person ends up committing an offence that he or she would not otherwise have committed, largely as a result of pressure or cunning on the part of the police. You are allowed to remain silent but can"t obstruct a polices job, if he stops you to give you a citation and asks for id you can"t just be quiet or not answer general questions.
