Search Warrants
To the search warrant applicants:
Introduction to SW4LA
The forms below have been created using language culled from countless applications. LASC selected a judge with intricate knowledge of search warrants to create these forms because almost all warrant rejections are due to failure to adhere to California law. A properly filled out and signed form will avoid that result.
