What are the statutory grounds for issuance of a search order under 1524 PC?

The correct choice highlights that a search order can be issued when property is suspected of being involved in a crime. This aligns with the legal framework that allows law enforcement to conduct searches when there is probable cause to believe that evidence related to criminal activity exists in a particular location. The statutory grounds—specifically outlined in section 1524 of the California Penal Code—are established to ensure that searches are not conducted arbitrarily but are instead based on reasonable suspicion regarding the connection of the property to criminal activity.

Authorities must be able to articulate specific facts providing a clear connection between the property and suspected criminal behavior. This is vital for upholding the rights of individuals while allowing law enforcement to effectively investigate and prevent crime. The other choices do not provide sufficient legal grounds for a search order under this statute, as ownership status, legality of procurement, or abandonment do not inherently suggest criminal involvement or evidence of a crime.
