Not ready to sign
Your Honor would not sign this yet. 5 items are requested without an explanation in the facts.
Sustained
Affiant identified“Is the officer's training and assignment on the page?”
Affiant paragraph is present. Confirm rank, agency, and training still read as one court-ready statement.
“What crime is this evidence of? (AOC-CR-119 requires the crime to be named.)”
Add at least one NCGS citation and offense name. You may type any statute — this is not limited to the catalog.
Deficient
Statement of facts is too thin“What did this affiant see, hear, or learn that makes it fair to believe the evidence is there now?”
Write the case story in your own words. Inserted templates (two-buys, characteristics of dealers) are optional starters — they do not replace probable cause for this OCA.
Deficient
Premises not particularized“Where exactly is the officer commanded to search?”
Give a street address. Add a structure description (siding, porch, driveway) so the wrong house is not hit.
Deficient
Person to be searched is blank“If you are asking to search a person, who is it?”
Add a name (and AKA, DOB, race/sex if known). If this warrant is places-only, uncheck Person on the AOC-CR-119 cover.
Inquire
Vehicles checked, none described“Which vehicle is to be searched?”
Describe make/model/color/tag, or check that all vehicles on the curtilage are included and explain why in the facts.
Deficient
Nothing listed to seize“What property is the warrant actually for?”
List the items or categories to be seized. Particularity is required. You may type custom items — you are not limited to the checklist.
Inquire
No driving directions from the Sheriff's Office“How does the executing team get from the Sheriff's Office to the target?”
Use the address picker to auto-fill directions from the Sheriff's Office, then edit them. Phone-only warrants can leave this blank.
