Practical Exercise \#1Search Warrant Particularity The 4th Amendment requires that Search Warrants particularly describe the place to be searched and the things to be seized. Most training materials overlook the importance of this issue and yet particularly describing a place and the items to be seized is not as easy as it might seem at first. Your assignment is to take the facts outlined below and for the purposes of obtaining a Search Warrant, \#1-describe the location(s) to be searched \#2-list the items you are looking to seize. (The easiest way to approach this exercise might be to think" "How would I give directions on how to reach the location to someone not familiar with the area. And how would I list the things I am looking for.") Here are the facts. You are a Mason City Police Officer assigned to investigate a rash of vehicle thefts. Many of the vehicles are later located but parts have been stripped off the cars. A confidential informant comes to you and tells you that they heard about the vehicle thefts and the word on the street is that the parts were being sold by a Mason University employee. In fact the informant went so far as to make contact with the employee and saw a number of auto parts stored in and around a building. The informant is going to take you to the location in Mason, and from a distance will point out the building where he met with the employee selling the stolen car parts and saw a number of automobile parts. You will later tell all this information to your Sargent and you expect that she will tell you to see if you could get a search warrant for that location. We will assume for this exercise that this information constitutes Probable Cause. Your assignment for this exercise is to 1) PARTICULARLY DESCRIBE THE LOCATION AND 2) PARTICULARLY LIST THE ITEMS YOU WANT TO SEIZE. You should describe the location in enough detail to meet the requirements of the 4th Amendment and so the warrant will later "stand up" in court. And you need to think of all the items you want to seize which would help in making your case against the suspect. How long does this need to be? As long as it takes to describe the property and list the items you want to seize. (But if you go longer than a page for each you are writing too much.) The location in question is the building across Mason Road from the main entrance to the campus. It is the one with the garage door facing the street. As part of this exercise you must keep in mind that the location is private property and you cannot go onto the property to "get a better view
