Under Florida Statute § 933.05, a search warrant must describe with "particularity" the place to be searched and the items to be seized. If a warrant is overly broad, for example, authorizing a search of an entire apartment complex when only one unit was under suspicion, it may be deemed invalid. Errors in the address, the description of the property, or the expiration of the warrant: typically 10 days for physical property, though up to 365 days for certain electronic devices, can all be grounds for a Motion to Suppress.
