To gain an insightful understanding of the criminal justice system, some terms must be well understood. For instance, a court-ordered warrant is a written order by the court permitting an action to be taken against an individual while granting the executor the writ protection from damages related to the action.
A court-ordered warrant can be given in cases where a bank wants to recover its debts by possessing the debtor’s property. Another common term that is used in law is “seize” which means taking evidence to use in criminal prosecution. Connected to “seize” is the term “search,” which means security agencies’ action of looking for evidence in a suspect’s residence, or office before seizing it. In most cases, forensic experts seize physical pieces of evidence from crime scenes for use in court proceedings.
Sometimes, lawyers argue their client’s cases about the “exclusionary rule,” which they term as a rule prohibiting the use of evidence secured illegally or in bad faith from being used against a defendant in a trial. It means that evidence gathered from an accused’s childhood days cannot be used during future trials. From a legal perspective, “probable cause” is sufficient reason based on facts to determine a connection with a particular offense. This is the reason why juries occasionally end their verdicts by mentioning the cause of a crime.
