Blanket search warrant - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

A blanket search warrant is a�broad authorization from a�judge�that allows the police to search multiple areas for evidence without specifying exactly what they are looking for and�seize�everything found.

The�Fourth Amendment�provides that �no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.� Accordingly,�in�Stanford v. Texas�the�Supreme Court�asserted that this Constitutional requirement protects against �the use of general warrants as instruments of oppression. Therefore, blanket search warrants are unconstitutional, and all�evidence�obtained under the blanket warrant must be excluded from the�trial�of the�defendant.
