Practice question
Customs personnel present only an administrative mission order to search a building stipulated to be principally a private dwelling. No consent, emergency or other independent exception exists. They rely solely on Section219’s warehouse language. Which is best?
- The dwelling falls under Section220’s judicial-warrant requirement, not the non-dwelling shortcut
- Every mission order is a judge’s warrant
- Every private home is automatically a warehouse
- Suspected imported goods erase the express dwelling safeguard
- No dwelling can ever be searched even with a valid warrant
