Are there Amscott warrants places? Drive-Thru judges? How do they obtain an arrest warrant or a warrant to search your car or use dogs when they pull you over so quickly?

There are situations where people think a warrant is required but it is not. Some examples:
They are talking to you outside your home and from inside the home they hear a scream or someone ask say help.
They pull over your car and there is a strong smell of marijuana coming from the car.
They do not need a warrant if there is something that would give them probable cause that a crime has been committed without searching the owners property. Something external like seeing part of a knife/gun , smells, sounds.
Thanks but I know how warrants work and what warrants a... warrant. Your link didn't say a thing about how fast they obtain a warrant.
I'm talking about how fast they get them. They could have the right to search your car with a warrant in minutes. Its as if there is a judge sitting somewhere, waiting for a cop to call asking for one. No black robes or mallets. Just a guy with the right to tell a cop its ok to look farther than "plain sight".

The term "magistrate" is often used (chiefly in judicial opinions) as a generic term for any independent judge who is capable of issuing warrants, reviewing arrests, etc. When used in this way it does not denote a judge with a particular office. Instead, it denotes (somewhat circularly) a judge or judicial officer who is capable of hearing and deciding a particular matter. That capability is defined by statute or by common law.
In many state court systems in the United States, magistrate courts are the successor to Justice of the Peace courts, and frequently have authority to handle the trials of civil cases up to a certain dollar amount at issue, applications for bail, arrest and search warrants, and the adjudication of petty or misdemeanor criminal offenses.
Don't they just fax one to a judge who signs it and blamo? You only need to give the judge a good reason to sign it no? At least that's how they play it on TV.

What? They don't need a warrant to search a vehicle. Did you read that section of the link I posted?
They don't need to see a judge, they only need to call the local magistrate who is on call 24/7. They call them , tell them the situation and the magistrate can give them permission or deny it. Paperwork is forwarded to the police later.
You obviously don't know how this stuff works. Either that or your being intentionally vague. Just tell us what happened.
Yes. You haven't been on topic since this thread started.

There we go. Magistrate is on call 24\7. I didn't know that. Thanks.
