What’s in it

AI summary When a police officer uses a search warrant to look through a person's property, they must now give a list of everything they took to a judge. Under current rules, the officer is required to bring the actual items themselves to the judge. This change means the officer only needs to provide a written list of the seized items instead of the items themselves.1
