SB0336 modifies Michigan law on executing search warrants, requiring officers to announce identity and purpose before entry, unless specific.

SB0336 amends Michigan's search warrant execution rules. It mandates that law enforcement officers announce their identity and purpose before entering a house or building. Officers must wait a reasonable time for admittance, considering the potential for evidence destruction. Exceptions allow forcible entry without announcement if imminent danger exists, if announcing would hinder the investigation, or if the warrant authorizes entry without compliance. The bill also requires officers to be in uniform or identifiable when executing forcible entry.
