A DUI blood warrant without specifying the substances sought is like a warrant to search a drawer without naming the items to be seized. The Fourth Amendment demands particularity to prevent fishing expeditions.

Warrant for blood for DUI allowed a search of the person to get the blood but said nothing specifically about testing the blood for alcohol concentration. Tenn Crim App: We read the warrant to authorize testing. That was the whole point. tncourts.gov/sites/defaul... #N
