Yes.
In Michigan v. Summers the Supreme Court stated, "We hold that a warrant to search for contraband founded on probable cause carries with it the limited authority to detain the occupants of the premises while a proper search is conducted.
Law enforcement officers may also require residents to remain outside their home until a search warrant can be obtained if the officers have probable cause to believe the home contains evidence of illegal activity (Illinois v. McArthur, 2001)

It could be one. There are search warrants and arrest warrants. If you have a search warrant, the police are entitled to search your property. After executing the search warrant, if the police establish probable cause to believe that you committed a crime, they can arrest you. If you have an arrest warrant, it is only a matter of time before the police find you and execute the arrest warrant.
Ive heard of police with a search warrant finding something non-related to the search warrant, and then issuing a new search warrant on the spot regarding the new issue.
Yes. The police can search any items if they have a warrant. It does not matter that no one is there to receive the warrant. The police only have to leave a copy of the warrant at the residence.
A Search Warrant
The premises to search will be listed in the warrant, and cannot be exceeded. Also, if the warrant is to look for a large item, the search is limited to containers where the item could possibly fit.
There is no consent needed from anybody when there is a valid search warrant in play. The court gives the police the right to search by granting the search warrant.
Yes, the officer may search. Police may search a building if they reasonably believe a valid search warrant has been issued. They do not have to possess the search warrant.
Technically they cant unless they have a search warrant not an arrest warrant.
The police got a search warrent in order to search the suspect's house. The suspect would not allow the police to search his home without a search warrant.
I heard that you can ask the police to do a free warrant search on you at any time. Can you ask them to do a free warrant search on someone else?
There are none, because forced entry by police executing a misdemeanor warrant is always forbidden in the United States. This may also be the case in most other countries. The only time when police are permitted to intrude and break into a private citizen's own home while executing a warrant, regardless of the likelihood of the person's guilt, is when they are executing a search warrant, or possibly an arrest warrant for a very serious crime, like murder. This law is very important, since it makes home invasions by the police illegal in the one place in which every person, even criminals, should have an absolute right to be safe and secure.
Yes, you are not necessarily required to be present.
