On John Doe warrants

A search warrant was obtained for a building owned by a congressman. The police received reliable information that this building was being used for illegal gambling operations under the guise of an organization known as the Parliamentary Club. The congressman was also the manager of the club.

On the day of the raid, the congressman was apprehended for resistance to agents of the authority. The police also found gambling paraphernalia on his person. In court, he was found guilty of maintaining a gambling house. He argued that the search warrant was invalid since it was a John Doe warrant where his name did not appear in the search warrant as the person to be seized.
