Consent to Search Form Template

About this template

A consent to search form is a waiver or consent agreement that documents as proof of the person waiving his or her right from an arbitrary search conducted by persons in authority on the property or premises possessed or owned by the person. This form is used for warrantless searches. Most countries provide a constitutional right against arbitrary or random searches and seizures by government law enforcement. Thus, without a proper warrant issued by a court, law enforcement agencies are not allowed to conduct searches, more so seize property as evidence suspected of a crime. In case what was seized due to the search is learned to have been acquired in violation of this constitutional provision, this will result in invalidation of the evidence and the court will have no choice but to order the return of the seized pieces of evidence. However, with this document, it proves that the party waives his or her constitutional right and allows the search and seizure to be conducted in the absence of a warrant.
