Affidavit Of Ownership California: Fill & Download for Free

One of the investigating officers will compose an affidavit, detailing the probable cause to issue a search warrant for the particular location (the red brick, one-storey house located at 123 Your Street, Anytown VA), vehicle (the black 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe bearing Viginia license plates XYZ-1234 and vehicle identification number ****************111), or container (the brown Samsonite suitcase currently being held at the office of the Consolidated Narcotics Unit) in order to locate particular evidence of a particular crime. The affidavit must be sworn to in front of a judge with competent jurisdiction (some jurisdictions allow this to be done over the phone). In the Federal system, that’s a Federal magistrate or the judge of a state court of record. In Nevada, that’s a justice of the peace. YMMV. Federal district judges and Nevada state district judges can issue search warrants, but it’s not commonly done. (I only obtained one Federal warrant signed by a state judge in New Mexico one time, when we couldn’t find the magistrate.)The probable cause has to establish that a specific crime was probably committed and that evidence of that crime is probably located at the location to be searched. The warrant has to describe particular items of evidence, but those can be specific (a Smith and Wesson .38 Special revolver bearing serial number ABC1234) or more general (cocaine, cutting agents, scales, packaging materials, indicia of ownership or occupancy, etc.) If evidence of some other crime is discovered during the course of the search and the police haven’t exceeded the scope of the warrant (If you’re looking for a stolen car, you can’t search the kitchen cabinets.), that evidence falls under the plain view doctrine and can be seized.

It gets complicated, Mr. Santos has already covered the temporary plate aspect, I don’t have any experience with that rule but there are many other things to consider:The title (ownership) has to be in your name if you are the driver of the car or at least the owner has to be present. My brother had to “buy” his van from his wife who was still at home; by fax (shows how old this is). Affidavits and official translations into Spanish come to mind.RV owners often tow another vehicle or carry a motorcycle; I don’t know if it is still the case but the rule of one vehicle per owner was strictly applied. Your choice was to leave one of the vehicles in the USA or cross directly into Baja California, the rule of one vehicle per owner was not enforced there in the old days. BEST to CHECKAnything with an engine and a serial number will require proof of ownership, that includes trailered ultralight trikes that never even needed registration in the old days.Of course if you remove the engine on your third try all you have on the trailer is an awkward looking assembly of spars on three wheels, but that is hearsay, unfortunately I missed that trip.

California Lost and Found Law says yes, you are in trouble.This is like saying, “Hey, I found your keys, but if you want them back, you will need to give me money.” This is called extortion. While the value of what you are extorting is probably not more than $1000, that is still a lot of money.California laws on lost and found say that if you find something that belongs to someone else, and you can make a reasonable effort to find that person, and you don’t, it is considered theft in most municipalities and certainly in the state. California states that if the value of the property is more than $100 you have an obligation to make a reasonable effort.Do the right thing and return the lost item. It is what you would want to do, if someone found something of yours.I am not an attorney. This is opinion being stated here.CA Codes (civ:2080-2080.10)CIVIL CODESECTION 2080-2080.102080.
