Which type of warrant authorizes police to search a particular place or person without limitation and is unconstitutional?

• A. General Search Warrant
• B. Special Warrant
• C. Unlimited Warrant
• D. Blanket Warrant

Answer: (A)

Warrants must describe with particularity the place to be searched and the items to be seized. A general search warrant would authorize the police to search a specific place or person without any limiting scope, effectively giving broad, unchecked authority. That lack of limits violates the requirement for specificity tied to probable cause, making it unconstitutional. This is why General Search Warrant is the best choice. The other terms imply some restriction or are not standard constitutional categories; even though a blanket or unlimited-scope warrant would also be improper in practice, the classic concept that captures the unconstitutional flaw is a general search warrant.
