Errores tipográficos en órdenes de búsqueda y su validez

Explicación Simple

Cuando la policía necesita buscar algo en una casa, necesitan un permiso llamado orden de búsqueda. Si tienen un pequeño error, como un número de calle equivocado, eso no siempre significa que no pueden hacer la búsqueda, siempre que sepan a quién buscan y dónde vive.

Es como si tuvieras una lista de ingredientes para hacer un pastel, y un número de la receta está mal escrito. Si sabes que necesitas hacer un pastel de chocolate, no importa si escribiste '2 tazas de harina' en vez de '2 tazas de azúcar', sigues sabiendo lo que quieres hacer.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que la policía está buscando a Juan porque creen que está involucrado en un crimen. Tienen una orden que dice que deben buscar en la casa de Juan, pero el número de la calle está equivocado. Sin embargo, como saben que es su casa y han verificado que vive allí, pueden seguir buscando sin problemas.
