2006 New York Code - Search Warrant.

 
    § 272. Search warrant. If at the time of the issue of the summons in a
  court  not  of record, the plaintiff or his agent make affidavit that he
  has reason to believe and does believe that any defendant has  any  such
  can  or cans secreted upon his premises, the justice or other magistrate
  or court issuing the summons must,  without  requiring  an  undertaking,
  grant  an  order for the arrest of the defendant, which order shall also
  contain a direction to the officer  to  whom  the  same  is  issued,  to
  immediately  search  the  place or premises mentioned in said affidavit,
  and if any such can or cans are there found, to bring the same  together
  with the defendant or other persons in whose possession said can or cans
  are found, before such justice, magistrate or court. The proceedings may
  be  amended  at  any  time by adding parties or otherwise as justice may
  require; and the judgment may provide for the disposition of the can  or
  cans so found.
    If  upon  the  issue  of  any  such  process,  the constable, or other
  officer, shall be unable to find the person or  persons  therein  named,
  but  shall  find  any  can or cans, as therein set forth, he shall bring
  such can or cans before such justice or magistrate, who shall  thereupon
  proceed  to determine the right of such complainant thereto, and if upon
  such hearing had thereon he shall be satisfied that  such  can  or  cans
  rightfully  belong  to  such  complainant, or that he is entitled to the
  possession thereof,  he  shall  forthwith  deliver  the  same  into  his
  possession or the possession of his agent.
