Missouri v. Douglass
Petition for certiorari denied on March 18, 2019
Issue: (1) Whether severance is the default remedy when part of a warrant is valid, or whether the Fourth Amendment requires that the valid sections make up "the greater part of the warrant"; (2) whether the particularity clause"which requires a warrant to describe "the place to be search[ed]" and "the things to be seized" with sufficient particularity" also requires a warrant to state its probable-cause findings with particularity; and (3) whether the exclusionary rule applies when the issuing judge signs off on the officer"s legal mistake in filling out a warrant form.
