to any place in the state" if a "public offense has been committed" in the officer's jurisdiction].) But is a magistrate authorized to issue a warrant to peace officers from a different county for a crime that occurred in that different county?

Galvan (1992) 5 Cal.App.4th 866, 869-870 (Galvan) [a magistrate may not issue a search warrant to officers from a different county even if the location to be searched and the underlying crime occurred in the magistrate's county].)
