FAQ
Warrantless means that government officers carry out a search or arrest without a warrant or any other legal authorization. The requirement of a warrant serves to protect individuals' privacy interests against unreasonable governmental intrusion.
Once an officer has stopped you, they can form probable cause to search or arrest you based on additional observations. Probable cause is determined on a case-by-case basis, looking at the totality of the circumstances. The officer needs to have more than a "hunch" or a suspicion that you were up to something illegal.
In Minnesota, the 36-Hour Rule states that after being arrested, the person must be brought before a Judge within 36 hours. If it were that simple, there wouldn't be so much confusion. However, there are a long list of exclusions that can extend that 36 hour time period substantially.
Time Limit. When a person arrested without a warrant is not released under this rule or Rule 6, a judge must make a probable cause determination without unnecessary delay, and in any event within 48 hours from the time of the arrest, including the day of arrest, Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays.
If there is a reasonable expectation of privacy and there is not probable cause, a search warrant is required. However, if probable cause does occur, such as a suspect runs away, a gunshot is heard from another room in a home, or even when an individual makes a sudden movement, a search becomes legal without a warrant.
Hot pursuit: Officers can arrest and search individuals who are suspected of committing a felony. For the pursuit, officers can enter any property to search and seize evidence without warrants.
In California, whether an arrest warrant appears in a criminal background check depends on the type of check conducted. Standard criminal background checks, typically employed by landlords or employers, often do not reveal outstanding warrants, including open or bench warrants.
