What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Let me start by saying that I have a record. I have been arrested twice for petty theft and plead guilty both times. So I have a record and my fingerprints are in the LAPD system.
I was recently at an open house for a home that is for sale. I walked around the home and made my presence known. So I was not hiding anywhere or being sneaky. 85% of the time I was in the house, I was being followed by one of the agents representing the property.
I have since found out that a couple expensive watches were stolen from the home and a police report was filed. I did not give my name or phone number to the agents or the homeowner so no body at the open house knows who I am.
There are no cameras inside the home as well.
What would the police need to obtain a search warranty to search my home? How likely is it that they would? If the police ran fingerprints from the home and found a match to mine, would this be enough to obtain a warranty? Is it even likely that they would find a print?
Please give me some advice. Being arrested in the past, I know I am looked at differently. But I'm wondering if this is so small potatoes for the police, if search warrants are more for big time drugs, etc.
Thanks in advance.
