Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
All
property or things taken on a warrant must be retained in an officers custody,
subject to the order of the court to which the officer is required to return
the proceedings before the officer, or of any other court in which the offense
in respect to which the property or things are taken is triable. If it appears
that the property taken is not the same as that described in the warrant, that
there is no probable cause for believing the existence of the grounds on which
the warrant was issued or that the property is determined pursuant to NRS 179.11518 to be subject to the
attorney-client privilege, the magistrate shall cause it to be restored to the
person from whom it was taken. However, no search warrant shall be quashed by
any magistrate or judge within this State nor shall any evidence based upon a
search warrant be suppressed in any criminal action or proceeding because of
mere technical irregularities which do not affect the substantial rights of the
accused.
