What will be an ideal response?


An anticipatory search warrant is a warrant based on an affidavit showing probable cause to believe that at some future time, particular evidence of a crime will be located at a particular place. Anticipatory warrants may not be executed until some specific event (other than the passage of time) has occurred. The specified events are called triggering conditions, and even though the warrant has been issued and is in the hands of the police, until the triggering condition has arisen, the search may not be carried out.
