What is a 'Search Warrant'?

  1. Permission to search a person

  2. An order for a courtroom search

  3. A license for a private investigator

  4. A court order for a search

The correct answer is: A court order for a search

A search warrant is a legal document issued by a court that gives law enforcement officials the authority to search a specific location for evidence of a crime. Option A is incorrect because it only applies to searching a person, not a location. Option B is incorrect because it only applies to searching a courtroom, not a specific location. Option C is incorrect because it only applies to private investigations, not criminal investigations conducted by law enforcement. This makes option D the correct answer as it accurately describes the purpose and authority of a search warrant.
