Visit (entering) of a home is, under certain circumstances, possible for a civilian and for a police officer to apprehend a suspect. The public prosecutor can perform a search of the premises, but not the residence. An exceptional situation is found in the residence or office belonging to a person who has the right to refuse to give evidence in court, e.g. family, doctors, solicitors. For those cases the public prosecutor needs an authorization of the examining magistrate. An examining magistrate is competent to carry out a thorough search of any place. An investigation officer or the police may perform a search in a vehicle. Notice: in general: search is possible in case of more serious crimes. Special rules are applicable in case of criminal financial investigation, drugs related crime and weapon offences.
