So it's not like on TV where if they have the paper they can just show it to you and barge past you by force?
For arrest warrants that makes sense, but they portray search warrants the same way.
- pixl97 3y agoSearch warrants can be more aggressive if they believe the searched are going to be oppositional and attempt to destroy evidence. Now for a typical business where law enforcement is going after someone else's data it's more laid back as the most law enforcement expects is the company to get on the phone with a lawyer to see if they should comply type thing.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoThat makes sense, thanks.

Even in these cases, they still have to give you the warrant and you're able to take it up with the issuing authority/take to court the executing officers. But yes, arrest warrants and personal search warrants can be executed expediously for evidentiary / flight concerns. It's the exception, not the rule.
