If they obtained a warrant, they can use whatever they find. There are other evidentiary issues, but in general whatever they find can be used. Your attorney can, however, still look at whether or not the warrant should have been issued.
If a person enters a closed but unlocked gate of a homeowner’s fenced in yard and steals their personal property valued over $950, what crime or crimes are involved? Grand Theft? Grand Larceny? Burglary? Trespassing? Would all these be felony crimes?

misdemeanor FTA warrant, no violence etc. no theft etc and its an old case
