Natez, you mean to tell me if someone comes to my house, says let me in I have a warrant, I say I will step outside and look at it before you come in, and they say "I don't have it with me, but I have one somewhere" I have to take thier word for it and let em in.
Sorry, but legal or not, unless you can show it to me, and I have time to read it and check it out, you aint comin in. All that person would have to do is not actually have a warrant, say I consented to the search, and it's my word against thiers.

Hello
>Mr ****, I am form the BATF, and I have a warrant to search your house
Fine, I will step out in the yard, once I see the warrant and look it over I will let you in. Need to make sure its correct, you may have the wrong house or made other mistakes.
>Umm, well, we don't have it with us, but we have it across town, and we are coming in.

Given the BATF's track record, would you trust them?
