I was wrong?

Alright. I'm studying at Harvard.

subject = Constitution and Law

our topic yesterday was about search warrant vs. warrant of arrest.

my professor asked me to talk in front.

Professor : How do you understand search warrant?

Me: Search warrant is a warrant issued by a judge, that authorizes the law enforcement to search on the location of a person for evidence?

Professor: What? Law enforcement?

Me: The police.

Professor: What the hell? Law enforcers. Not law enforcement. Duh. Watch your grammar.

Me: (confused) I've read it from wikipedia. It says law enforcement.

Hi, The term 'law enforcement' is used in certain contexts to mean the police, the FBI, or various other bodies. The article 'the' is not normally used with the phrase. It sounds OK for you to say .

I fear that your English does not sound like you are studying at Harvard. You have a lot of mistakes.
