Is an affidavit sufficient to warrant a search of a house where marijuana was seized pursuant to a search warrant?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Glass, 128 Cal.Rptr. 413, 56 Cal.App.3d 368 (Cal. App. 1976):
Appellant argues that the affidavit was insufficient because it failed to connect him with the marijuana and the premises. This assertion, however, is not justified in light of express terms of the affidavit in which appellant was identified as an occupant of the house in question and identified as the person who had furnished marijuana to the informant. In any event, the search warrant did not authorize a search of appellant's person; it authorized only a search of the premises, which was proper. (See People v. Scott (1968) 259 Cal.App.2d 268, 274, 66 Cal.Rptr. 257; [56 Cal.App.3d 372] Williams v. Justice Court (1964) 230 Cal.App.2d 87, 100--101, 40 Cal.Rptr. 724.)
