Question

If a person enters a vehicle without permission from the owner, and finds marijuana then calls the police, is that grounds to obtain a search warrant?

Answer

It may be. A reliable and identified informant who provides credible and specific information may provide sufficient probable cause for a search warrant to be issued. Such matters must be reviewed based on the particular facts and the affidavit supporting the warrant must be reviewed.
