A steagald warrant is a legal document that allows law enforcement to search a third party's property for evidence related to a suspect who is not present at the location. It is used in situations where the police believe that evidence of a crime may be found in a place that is not directly associated with the suspect, such as the home of a friend or relative. The warrant is named after the U.S. Supreme Court case "Steagald v. United States," which established the need for a warrant to protect the Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches.
