Iflicn an offender brought boforo tho Juotioo of the

''Uth regard to search warrants, Kr. Given says 

 that r.o officer has a rirfct to search a man's house, tent or 



-k without a search warrant. If a man's houso is entered 

 without r. r/arrant he nan a right to defend hineelf against 

 this ir.vr.eion and also to resist a search of his pack without 

 a warrant. If a house or pack is searched with a warrant and 

 no violation of the law is found the officer searching is 

 liable to a suit for danages. In case of a false arrest the 



who swore out the rrarrant may be prosecuted by the 

 defendant. Thio, however, is not very often attempted, and 

 IB not liJiely to be of serious consequence, if good faith was 

 sfccv/n ir. u.'ting the arrest. The sheriff ta':eo this ris^ 



ry time he raieo an arrest. If an officer feels absolutely 

 sure that violation of the law *ill be disclosed upon search 

 of a r.an's jack, he does not ta':s nuch risk by naming an 

 arrest under euch circumstances.
