| | Search Warrants: What They Are and When They're Necessary |
| | A search warrant is not always legally necessary, and a police officer may have information of which a person is unaware that allows the officer to make a warrantless entry. | | | A search warrant is an order signed by a judge that authorizes police officers to search for specific objects or materials at a definite location at a specified time. | | | Police officers obtain search warrants by convincing a judge or magistrate that they have "probable cause" to believe that criminal activity is occurring at the place to be searched or that evidence of a crime may be found there. |

| | Alito's remark on strip search of girl, 10, prompts questions - The Boston Globe |
| | Alito, however, wrote in his dissent that the search had been conducted legally because an application for the search warrant had sought permission to search all occupants of a house of a suspected drug dealer, and police had reason to believe that they had been authorized to search the mother and daughter. | | | Solomon, the lawyer for the girl and her mother, agreed that Alito's decision was based on an interpretation of the search warrant. | | | Chertoff, writing for the majority, said that without a clear reference to the girl and her mother in the search warrant, it was not legal to search them. |

| | Search warrants often contain limits on what may be searched, but when the searching officers have complete and unsupervised discretion over a search, a property owner cannot defend his or her rights. | | | In addition, this provision authorizes the equivalent of a blank warrant: the court issues the order, and the law enforcement agent fills in the places to be searched. | | | For example, it allows them to point out irregularities in a warrant, such as the fact that the police are at the wrong address, or that the scope of the warrant is being exceeded (for example, by rifling through dresser drawers in a search for a stolen car). |
