What is the Attorney General's ground for upholding a search warrant for a house search?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Hill, 107 Cal.Rptr. 791, 32 Cal.App.3d 18 (Cal. App. 1973):
The Attorney General's alternate ground for upholding the search, that the house itself was evidence and could therefore be seized under the doctrine of North v. Superior Court (1972) 8 Cal.3d 301, 305-307, 104 Cal.Rptr. 833, 502 P.2d 1305, is untenable. Absent unusual circumstances not present here, a house may not be seized as evidence.
