A personal strangles another or hits someone else over the head with a bat is clearly violent acts. But we must take into consideration that force can be much more that that. In the poem “Death Warrant”, though no physical force is taking place, there is a strong threat of force being used.

In the case presented, obtaining a search warrant would comes down to the key factor of proving probable cause. To do so, evidence of a possible operation must be at least reasonable.
