A Kentucky Anticipatory Search and Seizure Warrant is a court-issued warrant that allows the search for, and seizure of, evidence before the crime in question has been committed. This type of warrant is used to prevent a crime from occurring and is often used in cases involving terrorism, drug trafficking, and other serious criminal activity. There are two types of Anticipatory Search and Seizure Warrants recognized in Kentucky: the traditional warrant and the exigent circumstances warrant. The traditional warrant requires police officers to present a written affidavit to a judge and demonstrate probable cause that a crime will be committed before the warrant can be issued. The exigent circumstances warrant is issued when there is an urgent need to search and seize evidence and there is no time to obtain a traditional warrant. Both types of warrants must include a detailed description of the items to be searched for and seized.
