Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 502

What must be obtained before an investigation is carried out at a location?

Answer options

• A. Search warrant
• B. Subpoena
• C. Habeas corpus
• D. Modus operandi

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A search warrant is necessary to legally authorize law enforcement to search a location. A subpoena is used to compel someone to testify or produce evidence, but does not grant permission to search. Habeas corpus addresses unlawful detention and is not applicable to location searches, while modus operandi refers to a pattern of behavior and does not relate to legal permissions.
