Supreme Court rules members cannot issue warrants
In a July ruling the Arkansas Supreme Court held that its members lacked constitutional authority to issue arrest and seizure warrants. The decision quashed a warrant used by state police to raid Reliable Publishing in North Little Rock and seize equipment alleged to be for gambling. Henry Levy challenged the warrant, arguing it violated federal rights, but the court found questions of fact about whether seized property was a gambling device fall under judicial jurisdiction not held by the issuing officers. The ruling cites past Hot Springs raids and urges strict constitutional interpretation while noting potential liberal views on executive authority. The opinion notes the magistrate’s role in determining facts and warns against state police issuing warrants that execute judicial functions. Continued on Page Two.
