Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anticipatory warrants are issued based on the anticipation that incriminating material will arrive at a particular location. This type of warrant is often used in cases involving drug trafficking, where the police may not have evidence at the time of the warrant, but expect it to arrive soon. Retrospective warrants are issued after the fact, based on evidence that has already been obtained. Prospective and incriminatory warrants are not recognized terms in the context of search warrants.
