An Anticipatory Search and Seizure Warrant (also known as a “sneak-and-peek” warrant) is a court-issued document that allows law enforcement to search a person’s premises before a crime has been committed. It is typically used when there is probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime will be found in a particular location, and that it would be impossible to obtain a standard search warrant before the evidence is destroyed or removed. There are two main types of Anticipatory Search and Seizure Warrants: immediate-execution warrants and delayed-execution warrants. Immediate-execution warrants allow law enforcement to search the premises immediately, while delayed-execution warrants require law enforcement to wait for a predetermined period of time before searching the premises. Both types of warrants require law enforcement to inform the subject of the warrant of the search as soon as it is reasonably practicable to do so.
