Wrong Warrant: Police Can’t Search Your Home for Someone Else| Know Your Rights. Spot the Wrongs.™

Описание: Can police search your home using an arrest warrant for someone else?
No — and the Supreme Court has been clear about why.

In this video, attorney Safisha breaks down the real Supreme Court case Steagald v. United States, which established that an arrest warrant for one person does not authorize police to search a third party’s home without a search warrant, valid consent, or exigent circumstances.

This case explains where the rule comes from — and why it matters before you open the door.

In this video, you’ll learn:
The difference between arrest warrants and search warrants

Why an arrest warrant protects only the person named — not every home police think they might be in

How the Fourth Amendment protects homeowners and third parties

What happens when police rely on the wrong warrant

Why evidence found during an unlawful search may be suppressed
