Course: Introduction / Procedural Law

The Particularity Requirement is a Fourth Amendment principle that requires officers to clearly and precisely describe the place to be searched and the things to be seized in order for a search warrant application to be approved by a magistrate.

The subsequent search may not extend beyond those places and things specified in the warrant.
