Multiple Choice

A search warrant is valid for three whole days not counting the day of issuance nor the day of execution.

The idea being tested is how long a search warrant remains valid and how the days are counted. In this rule, the warrant lasts for three full days, and you do not count the day it’s issued or the day you execute it. So you count only the days that fall between those two events. For example, if issued on Monday, the three counted days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The warrant would then be valid to be executed on Friday (the day after the last counted day). This matches the rule of three whole days not counting issuance or execution days. The other options don’t fit because they either count days differently (two days for forty-eight hours), or include the issuance day (seven days including issuance day), or add more days than three (ten days excluding issuance day).
