in iowa can law enforcment use a search warrant from one county in another county?

Search warrants can be issued by a magistrate in one county for a search in another county in Iowa. It is unusual for this to happen, but the magistrates and judges have statewide authority in Iowa. This can often happen with an investigation that starts in one county and crosses county lines during the investigation.  However, it may be improper if the police officer is judge shopping and crosses the county line to get a warrant or is refused a warrant in one county and goes to another county.  I would suggest contacting an attorney to resolve the issue and see if there is a problem with the warrant.
