Under the Fourth Amendment, a search warrant must specifically describe the place to be searched and items to be seized. If Oklahoma police target a specific property (a "premises warrant"), establishing probable cause for that location is legally sufficient. Courts routinely uphold warrants using "John Doe" or omitting a name altogether, provided the physical address is accurate enough to prevent officers from searching the wrong home.

However, a warrant lacking a name becomes illegal if the property description is also vague (e.g., missing a unit number) or if officers use a premises warrant to conduct an illegal physical search of an unnamed person.
