Spencer v. State

I dissent to the holding of the majority that the description of a “ring” and a “watch” is sufficient to satisfy the particularity requirements of a search warrant.

The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and 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.” 1
