Task: Search Warrant Execution

Los Angeles County v. Rettele, 550 U.S. 609 (2007).

Officers may detain persons while executing search warrants.

When officers make a reasonable mistake in warrant execution, a

brief detention to secure the premises and determine that a mistake

th
has been made, does not violate the 4 Amendment.

Note: Upon realizing the error, the officers reacted immediately to

correct the error and diminish the injury to the innocent parties.
