Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An arrest warrant allows law enforcement to enter the suspect's dwelling if they believe the suspect is inside, but the authority to enter is limited to that specific purpose. It does not allow for a general search of the dwelling, nor does it give authority to enter other dwellings or areas without a separate warrant or reasonable suspicion.
