If the search warrant is wrong can the police still used the evidence they found against you?
No. If the search warrant is invalid and they illegally searched you or someone you know (like without reasonable cause, or without the warrant) then they can't use any evidence against you. To the best of my knowledge, anyways. I don't know how many ways a search warrant can be wrong though...if they were searching for like, pot, but found cocaine, they CAN use that though. Or a gun, or something like that. If they have the warrant, they can use it. If they searched without the warrant, its invalid and inadmissible 100%.
