SB 802 - This act sets out the requirements for a peace officer to obtain a warrant via the telephone. This act allows the prosecuting attorney to give voice authorization to the applicant to affix his or her signature to the application for a search warrant. After the prosecutor's signature is affixed, the applicant shall contact a judge who may take an oral statement under oath that is recorded. Such statement shall be deemed to be an application and an affidavit for the purposes of issuing a search warrant. This act also sets out the forms for the application and affidavit for a telephonic search warrant.
This act is identical to SB 528 (2003).
