234 Pa. Code Rule 210. Return of Papers to Clerk.

Rule 210. Return of Papers to Clerk.

The judicial officer to whom the warrant was returned shall file the search warrant, all supporting affidavits, and the inventory with the clerk of the court of common pleas of the judicial district in which the property was seized.

Comment

   See Rule 211 for the procedures when the search warrant affidavit(s) has been sealed.
   Unexecuted search warrants are not public records, see Rule 212(B), and therefore are not to be included in the criminal case file nor are they to be docketed.
