# Chicago Police Search Warrant Data
*(This project is in active development!)*
https://viz.mchap.io/search_warrants
## Data
### What is it?
Locations of where search warrants were executed, and whether an arrest was made.
### What is it not?
The data does not include warrants either not approved, never acted on, or available from reporting difficulties, and are not included in the dataset or visualisations.
**Note**: Not all search warrants lead to arrests. In fact, you may see a lot of search warrants for "3300 W Fillmore St" which is the same building as CPD's Evidence Collection Unit. (As decided in Riley vs California, yes police do need to get a warrant to search your phone).
### How did you get it?
We received this data through the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Access to the information was initially denied, but through a year long appeals process with the Illinois Attorney General, an opinion was given that legally required Chicago to provide the records.
