A warrant for search and seizure may be issued by any judge or judicial officer of the Community Court upon request of a tribal police officer or tribal prosecutor.
(Port Gamble S’Klallam Law and Order Code.)
A warrant shall issue only upon a written or oral sworn statement of a law enforcement officer or tribal prosecutor that contains reliable facts which establish probable cause to believe that seizable evidence will be found on the person or premises described in the affidavit. The warrant shall be directed toward the tribal police and shall command the officer to conduct the search within the time specified in the warrant.
Every Judge has the authority to issue warrants for the search of persons, premises, and property and the seizure of goods, instruments, articles, or items. A warrant issued under this chapter shall not be held invalid due to minor irregularities in the warrant that do not substantially affect any rights of a person named in the warrant.
When a warrant is requested based on oral testimony, communicated by telephone or otherwise, a Judge shall:
(a) 
Immediately place the requesting person(s) under oath;
(b) 
Record by voice recording device if available, or otherwise make a verbatim record of the requesting person’s statement and certify the accuracy of this record;
(c) 
Enter on an original warrant the grounds indicating probable cause exists to issue a warrant and the scope of the search warrant as requested or as modified;
(d) 
Sign the original warrant and enter on the face of the original warrant the exact time when the warrant was ordered to be issued; and
(e) 
Direct the requesting party to:
(1) 
Prepare a document identical to the original warrant to be known as a duplicate original warrant;
(2) 
Sign the duplicate original warrant on behalf of the Judge; and
(3) 
Enter the exact time of execution on the face of the duplicate original warrant.
A Judge may require the applicant to furnish further testimony or documentary evidence in support of the application for the warrant.
(Res. 84 A 03, 2/14/1984; Res. 15-A-003, 3/23/2015, amended this section to allow tribal police to request a search warrant from a tribal judge by telephone or other verbal means.)
No police officer shall search or seize any property without a warrant unless: 1) he knows or has probable cause to believe that the person is engaged in the commission of an offense; 2) the search is made incident to a lawful arrest; 3) emergency circumstances exist, such as a situation where evidence might be destroyed or removed; 4) objects seized are in the officer’s plain view; or 5) the persons consents to the search.
(Port Gamble S’Klallam Law and Order Code. Res. 84 A 03, 2/14/1984, amended this section to clarify and expand the permissible range of warrantless search.)
