The warrant is allocated if there is reason to believe evidence is available. The search and acquisition of computers and their connected facilities may affect questions of precision, though the desires of the fourth amendment should not affect investigation or prosecution of unlawful internet gambling. For a number of reasons; the fourth amendment may not affect investigation of offshore activities as applications are restricted (Doyle, 2003). It takes place where privacy is known to the law.
