&gt; I have not seen any legal authority for the defense getting a search warrant.<p>I wouldn&#x27;t expect so, since I proposed creating statutory authority for them as a solution to the problem you described that would seem to be well within the parameters of the Constitution, so that we don&#x27;t have to sacrifice protection against warrantless searches and seizures by government in order to preserve the rights of defendants to secure evidence for their defense.<p>I&#x27;m quite aware that defense-initiated warrants are <i>not</i> an existing thing.
