Re: drug raid
It depends on the circumstances. In order to obtain a search warrant, the police must provide evidence to the court that they have "probable cause" to believe that criminal activity is occurring at the place to be searched or that evidence of a crime may be found there.
Even if the actual sale did not occur at the home, there may be probable cause that there is evidence of the sale (or other crimes) at the home.
Whether the warrant was proper will depend on the evidence that was submitted to the judge who issued the warrant.
