Re: Searching property

I don't understand your question.

A search warrant is a court order allowing law enforcement to search a specified area for a specific items. It is not a license to look willy-nilly for anything. If evidence that is not on the list is found while searching for items on the list, then they are found legally. If they are looking for an armored vehicle in a dresser drawer then it can probably be suppressed (if you can prove it.)
