United States Supreme Court

The search of plaintiffs' ranch was clearly unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment. The warrant was plainly invalid, failing to describe with particularity the items to be seized; because it did not describe these items at all, the search was presumptively unreasonable; defendant, who prepared and executed the warrant, is not entitled to qualified immunity because no reasonable officer could believe such a warrant to be valid.
