Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant search warrant error

[bjlong]

if I can prove that a statement that is in a search warrant is proving to be false mainly They mention 2 vehicles clearly stating that the 2 above mentioned vehicles contained and transported meth. The error is that only 1 vehicle is mentioned twice using the same license plate and owner Info. There are clearly no possible way for this to be true. It is my understanding that a search warrant must be solely based on nothing but truth therefore this error proving false statements and the blatent disregard for the truth does the warrant become not valid and there for any evidence found afterwards is not admisable in court correct.

Typographical error does not equate to "blatant disregard" or "false statements".

It means that somebody in the office screwed up.

This is a non issue.
Warrants are not based on absolute truth but rather on probable cause... beliefs that are based on facts known at the time. Certain information may later prove untrue or inaccurate, but that does not invalidate the probable cause held at the time the warrant was issued. A typo would not invalidate the warrant. The probable cause explained in the affidavit would still hold up regardless of the error.
