My question involves criminal law for the state of: California.
I saw the exchange about arrests warrants and it made me wonder how long it takes detectives, who suspect evidence (of murder) is in the home of a person whose whereabouts the police don't know, to get a search warrant for those premises. One's home is a special place, but murder's an unforgivable crime. So:
1 Will someone tell me, please, how long it would take to obtain a search warrant in the circumstances I have described?
2 Also, if a crime hasn't yet been committed, but the police suspect evidence of the planned crime is in a missing person's home, how long to get a search warrant for that?
3 In both cases I have in mind a suspect with no criminal record who has been seen at the scene of other crimes but never charged and whose whereabouts, as I said before, are unknown. So, one of the things the police want to look for is evidence of the suspect's current location. I understand that language in a search warrant application must be specific. Is "evidence of the property owner's current location" sufficiently so?
As ever, sorry if I'm a chump, and thanks in advance.
