Muny Judges Tighten Tape on Warrants Officers Hereafter Must File Statements Setting Forth Cause Sufficient for Issuance. Omaha municipal judges, at a spe cial meeting, decided that the issu ance of a search warrant hereafter must be based on application ap proved either by the chief of police or the sheriff and accompanied by a written statement setting forth such reasonable suspected conditions that, will justify issuance of the war rant. This action followed refusal bv Judge R. \V. Patrick, presiding judge of the municipal court, to is sue to Deputy Sheriff Olaf Yaldemar Thestrup a search warrant on the mere statement, by Thestrup that he suspected a certain premises. ^ officers tn whom search warrants are Issued will he required *<» make returns within four days, instead of holding them for a month or even destroying them, according to Judge Pa trick. Sanctity of Home. "The judges of the municipal court ate absolutely in favor of law en forcement." the judge said, "and wo are also determined that these laws shall he enforced according to their spirit as well a« the letter, and not in violation thereof. The law con templates the sanctity of the home, and that the. home shall not he In vaded without just cause." .The judge added that search war rants heretofore issued have justified In less than nO per Cent of the cases, that out of 100 issued less than FO yielded any evidence of violation of law. The practice has heen for an. officer to fill out an application blank and the search warrant was issued forthwith. Many Complaints. "Many complaints have been re reived as to the manner in which these search warrants have been Is sued,” the judge added. ‘ The judges have dlacussed the situation and rt» eided to require full compliance with the law- regarding issuance of search warrants. A mere affidavit without stating facts upon which application for warrant is based, will not. be con sidered hereafter. Nor will the war rants he issued unless O. K.'d by the chief authority in charge of the law enforcement and accompanied by a written statement of the suspicious facta upon which application is based. "The chief of police ami the sher iff will he required to authorize ap plications for warrants. Officers serv ing such warrants will be required to return seme within four days. Subordinate law enforcement officers have obtained these warrant# upon . their met# statement-'of their suspic ion. and as we have stated, the re suits have not Justified their state ments. "These officers have been In the habit or failing to make a return on warrants wi'hin reasonable lime, some holding them more than a month and in some Instances making no returns at all."
