Search of a bolted-down combination safe?

[killreality]

California: There's no actual case, I just wanted to ask. I've heard that if a safe is bolted to the floor, it makes it a lot more difficult (legally) to obtain a warrant to search it. Could anyone please ellaborate on this for me? Is there any requirements for how firmly those bolts have to hold? Does anyone know any resources online with this info?

Thanks everyone!

a bolted down safe is no different than an unbolted safe.

A bolted down safe is real estate. Otherwise it is not.

Re: 'real estate'

Does the fact that it being bolted down makes it real estate change anything else?

Bolting down makes zero difference for search and seizure purposes.
