A reliable confidential informant told police that Blake was selling stolen medical devices from Apartment 4B. The informant had given accurate information in two prior cases. Police arranged a controlled buy. The informant entered 4B with marked money and returned five minutes later with a stolen device. Officers watched Blake open the door but did not see the transaction inside.
Three weeks later, an officer applied for a warrant. The affidavit described the controlled buy and the informant's prior reliability. The warrant authorized officers to search "Apartment 4B and any containers inside for stolen medical devices, sales records, and proceeds." It did not mention cell phones. During execution, officers entered without knocking because they thought Blake might destroy paper records. They found a locked safe in a closet, opened it, and recovered marked money. They also searched Blake's phone for messages with buyers and found incriminating texts.
Blake moves to suppress the safe contents and phone evidence. Analyze probable cause, particularity, good faith, warrant execution, and the scope of the search.
