A search warrant authorizing officers to enter a home or office does not authorize the officers to search a computer found in the premises, unless the search warrant identifies the __________as part of the authorized search

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most appropriate choice is D because it directly refers to the computer found in the premises that officers will search, and if it is not mentioned in the warrant, officers cannot legally search its contents. Peripheral and file are not specific enough to refer directly to the computer in question, and owner does not pertain to the object being searched.
