How have the courts interpreted the search rules in the context of a search warrant application?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Amador, 100 Cal.Rptr.2d 617, 24 Cal.4th 387, 9 P.3d 993 (Cal. 2000):

Applying these rules to this case, we find the executing officer was easily able to locate and identify the specified premises, and there was little probability that another premise would be mistakenly searched. "The problem is not so much one of the officers' ability to locate the area they wished to search as one of their ability accurately to describe their target." (United States v. McCain (8th Cir.1982) 677 F.2d 657, 660.)
