Your friend is incorrect.A friend told me that the search warrant could be thrown out and all evidence not related to the burglary would be too.
If the police have a warrant to search your house for Item X, and in the process of this lawful search, turn up your stash, they are expected to make note of your possession of contraband, and act appropriately - this would include charging you for possession of said contraband.
I don't know where people get the idea that the police can only seize and charge for items listed on the search warrant, and are required to ignore all other contraband. It's incorrect.
a) You can try, but on what grounds? "It wasn't on the search warrant" isn't going to hold any water.Basically I want to know a) can I fight this thing? and b) how can I find out who lied to the police trying to get me into trouble? Would their name be on the search warrant?
b) I would expect the name of the informant is Anonymous Source.
