A Judge Authorization Law In Augusta GA

A search warrant is issued by a judge authorizing law enforcement officers to search a particular location and seize specific items. The judge will issue the warrant only if the police 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.

If a search and seizure is conducted by police without a valid search warrant, and does not fall under an exception to the warrant requirement, then the search and seizure is considered unreasonable. Police may only search the particular area and seize the specific items specified in the search warrant. Police may search outside the scope of the warrant only if they are protecting their safety or the safety of others, or if they are acting to prevent the destruction of evidence.

Evidence obtained without a valid search warrant, and without any exception to the warrant requirement applies, will be subject to the exclusionary rule. The exclusionary rule prevents illegally obtained evidence from being admitted in a court of law. Evidence gathered on the basis of illegally obtained will also be excluded.
