In this case, it is obvious that there was probable cause for the issuance of a warrant to search for marijuana. However, the search warrant did not mention marijuana. Instead, it authorized a search of “[a]ny/all vehicles, people, or buildings located on or within the [curtilage] of [Jenkins’s] residence” for “[a]ny/all drugs, eon-traban[d] or items of evidence connected to but not limited to the (scales, pipes, baggies, cash, weapons, documents, etc.) use, [sale], and/or storage of these type items.” It is this language that Jenkins contends is unconstitutionally broad, and I agree with him.
