Kris V. Zocco v. Wisconsin

The Fourth Amendment requires that a search warrant describe the things to be searched and seized with sufficient particularity to prevent a “general, exploratory rummaging in a person’s belongings.” Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, 467 (1971), different holding overruled in part on other grounds, Horton v. California, 496 U.S. 128 (1990). Does a warrant to search the entire contents of a cell phone for unspecified “evidence” of enumerated crimes violate the Fourth Amendment’s requirement that warrants “particularly describ[e] the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized?”
