Describe a situation in which an officer might use an anticipatory warrant

What will be an ideal response?


In United States v. Grubbs (2006), the Supreme Court defined an anticipatory warrant as one "based upon an affidavit showing probable cause that at some future time (but not presently) certain evidence of crime will be located at a specified place.". An example of this might be a situation in which the police know exactly when a suspect will buy drugs and exactly where he will bring them—say, to his home. The police can ask a judge to issue an anticipatory search warrant. This will allow the police to search the suspect's home immediately after he brings the drugs home, instead of waiting for a normal search warrant.
