Currently, Florida, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington State, and Virginia ban no-knock warrants; however, state-level bans do not affect federal law enforcement. Thirteen states have laws explicitly permitting no-knock warrants, and the remaining states issue them based on a judge's discretion.

Generally, warrants do not expire and will remain active until cleared by an appearance in court or apprehension by law enforcement.

The Oregon Supreme Court's definition of probable cause to search: The probable cause requirement means that the facts upon which the warrant is premised must lead a reasonable person to believe that seizable things will probably be found in the location to be searched.

To obtain a warrant, law enforcement officers must show that there is probable cause (PC) to believe a search is justified, that a crime was committed, and evidence of that crime is available. Officers must support this, showing with sworn statements (affidavits).

An Oregon arrest warrant is a legal document issued to law enforcement authorizing the apprehension and prosecution of a person suspected of committing a crime. In Oregon, a peace officer must present sufficient evidence to establish the subject's guilt of the offense to get an arrest warrant.

Lawful exceptions to the requirement for a search warrant may include but are not limited to the following: abandoned/lost property, incident to arrest, community caretaking and emergency aid, consent, exigent circumstances, inventory, and open and/or plain view.
