FAQ
(1) A search warrant shall be directed to the sheriff or any peace officer, commanding the sheriff or peace officer to search the house, building, or other location or place, where the person, property, or thing for which the sheriff or peace officer is required to search is believed to be concealed.
The ruling introduced a two-part test to determine if a government action qualifies as a "search": Subjective Expectation of Privacy: The individual must have a personal, subjective expectation that the place or activity in question is private. Objective Expectation of Privacy:
U.S. Constitution - Fourth Amendment.
The Fourth Amendment requires law enforcement to obtain a warrant in order to conduct searches or seizures that infringe a reasonable expectation of privacy. These warrants may only be issued upon probable cause and must describe the parameters of the search with particularity.
Search warrants require probable cause and particularity The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. The government generally needs a warrant to perform a search that infringes a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Other well-established exceptions to the warrant requirement include consensual searches, certain brief investigatory stops, searches incident to a valid arrest, and seizures of items in plain view. There is no general exception to the Fourth Amendment warrant requirement in national security cases.
In Michigan, arrest warrants and bench warrants generally do not expire. Once issued, they remain active until the individual is apprehended, appears in court, or the court takes action to recall or quash the warrant.
In Michigan, an active arrest warrant will never go away. Ever. In fact, many people have been shocked to learn they have a warrant out for their arrest that was issued years ago. The warrant will never get lifted unless you appear in front of a judge and the court officially recalls the warrant.
