Does a search warrant need to include a searchable device?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Martinez, 118 Cal.App.3d 624, 173 Cal.Rptr. 554 (Cal. App. 1981):

4 People v. Minjares, supra, 24 Cal.3d 410, 421, 153 Cal.Rptr. 224, 591 P.2d 514 restricted the so-called "instrumentality" exception to the provision of probable cause; it does not justify a warrantless search.
