AB 273

Under current law, a court may authorize a search warrant that allows a law

enforcement officer to search and seize anything that is the fruit of, or has been used

in, the commission of a crime or that may constitute evidence of a crime, if the court

finds probable cause to believe that the search will yield evidence of the crime.

This bill allows a court, upon finding probable cause, to authorize a search

warrant that allows a law enforcement officer to search and seize anything that is

the fruit of, or has been used in, the commission of a crime or of a civil violation of

the prohibitions against driving while having a prohibited alcohol concentration or

while under the influence of an intoxicant, a controlled substance, a controlled

substance analog or any combination of an intoxicant, a controlled substance and a

controlled substance analog.
