P. v. Thomas CA1/4
In February 2016, Berkeley Police Sergeant Craig Lindenau executed an affidavit in support of a request for a warrant authorizing a search of Thomas, a Ford van he controlled, and, conditionally, apartment 29 at 795 Sycamore Avenue in Hayward (the apartment). The search would be for cocaine and materials associated with its use, sale, or transport. The proposed warrant identified the apartment as an “anticipatory location,” and Lindenau’s supporting affidavit stated, “When I [execute] this warrant on Thomas[’s] person and vehicle, I believe that I will find keys in his possession or vehicle that will unlock the door to [the apartment] (triggering event). If Thomas[’s] keys unlock [the apartment], I am requesting authorization to search the apartment . . . .”
