Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sneak-and-peek searches, authorized under the USA PATRIOT Act, allow law enforcement officers to search a home or business without immediately notifying the target of the search. They do not leave a copy of the warrant or a receipt at the time of the search to maintain the element of surprise. Notification is delayed for a period specified by the court.
