Description
This Court granted review to determine whether Article I, Section 8, of the Pennsylvania Constitution categorically proscribes the issuance of what is commonly referred to as an "anticipatory search warrant," i.e., "'a warrant based upon an affidavit showing probable cause that at some future time (but not presently) certain evidence of crime will be located at a specified place.'" Commonwealth v. Glass, 718 A.2d 804, 806 (Pa. Super. 1998), citing Commonwealth v. Reviera, 563 A.2d 1252, 1254 (Pa. Super. 1989), appeal dismissed, 526 Pa. 41, 584 A.2d 308 (1991), quoting 2 Wayne R. LaFave, Search and Seizure § 3.7(c) (3d ed.1996). We hold that such search warrants do not per se violate Article I, § 8. Accordingly, we affirm.
