Dareton police search the vehicle of a suspect in Wentworth, in the state of New South Wales, Australia, near the border with Victoria
Search and seizure is an act that police and other law enforcement authorities are allowed to do. It is when they search a place for evidence of a crime. If they find that evidence, they may take it. They usually knock the door down with a search warrant. Warrants are a document stating that the government has permission to go into a building due to found evidence.
