Police obtain a warrant to search the residence of a man in Lake Worth, Fla. who was suspected of committing drug and firearms offenses. They believe it's a single-family home, but when they get there turns out the man lives in one of a few efficiency apartments in the back. They enter and find the evidence. Man: The warrant only identified the property address, not my individual unit, and thus did not "particularly describe[] the place to be searched." Eleventh Circuit: Good enough for government work.
