The last part really got me thinking, when the author mentioned that his apartment was probably searched by some agency. He would obviously have noted if he had received some sort of notification that his apartment had been legally searched.
Is it legal for the police, the DHS, FBI or any other agency to search your apartment and belongings without notifying you? Are there warrants that will let the authorities do this? What are the circumstances which allow them to do this?
- jazzyb 13y agoI am not a lawyer, but this is how I understand it: Hypothetically if they had issued a FISA warrant to the landlord, then the landlord could have let them search the apartment and additionally would not be legally allowed to inform his tenet that a warrant had been issued [1], must less that his apartment had been searched. 1. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1861 http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1861 see part (d) "Nondisclosure"
- marvin 13y agoWould any other measure than a FISA warrant allow for a search of an apartment without notifying the owner and/or tenants?
