Practice question
A warrant team transports all seized items far away before inventory and photography solely for convenience, although the statutory warrant-service site was available. No justifiable ground is proved. The prosecution argues that the warrant itself eliminates the location proviso. What is correct?
- A warrant does not erase the stated inventory-and-photography location requirement
- Every warrant authorizes any later inventory location without explanation
- Only warrantless cases have safeguards
- The team’s convenience automatically supplies every justification
- Every photograph cures every deviation
