Any warrant issued which lists the place, persons, and items to be searched for which is to be carried out between 11:00PM and 8:00AM must have the judge who signed the warrant at the scene.
Nothing good happens after midnight, and that goes for the police, persons, neighbors, pets, and ambulance crews.
It never ceases to amaze me why law enforcement is taught to terrorize people in the middle of the night like shock and awe is a precursor to a positive outcome?
Excellent observation.
Yep, that’s a good idea.
No, the judge does not have to be present for a nighttime warrant.
