To the search warrant applicants:
Introduction to SW4LA
The forms below have been created using language culled from countless applications. These forms have recently been updated to ensure compliance with statutory authority because most warrant rejections are due to a failure to adhere to California law. Use of the templates at this website should avoid this result.
