Q: They had 10 days to execute the warrant they came 10 days and 3:50 hours later is they warrant still valid
A: In New York, the validity of a warrant is contingent on compliance with the specified time frame for execution. If law enforcement executed a warrant more than 10 days after its issuance, it may be considered invalid. The timely execution of a warrant is a crucial element to ensure that law enforcement actions align with constitutional protections. If the execution exceeds the stipulated timeframe, it could potentially render the warrant invalid, and any evidence obtained during the execution may be subject to legal challenges. However, legal outcomes can be fact-specific and may depend on the circumstances surrounding the delay in execution.
