Re: search warrants
usually a search warrant has to be very specific, however a search warrant for a dwelling includes a warrant to search the curtilege (the area around the dwelling). the matter regarding the locked car is different. unless there is some other reason to go into the car, it should not be searched since the car is not listed.
