U.S. v. GRUBBS
Supreme Court of United States (2006) | 547 U.S. 90
TL;DR: The Supreme Court upheld an "anticipatory" search warrant conditioned on a future event (a controlled delivery), ruling the Fourth Amendment does not require this "triggering condition" to be written on the face of the warrant itself.
Legal Significance: This case constitutionally validates anticipatory search warrants and narrowly construes the Fourth Amendment's particularity requirement to apply only to the place to be searched and items to be seized, not to the conditions for the warrant's execution.
