In what circumstances will a search warrant be sought for a specific, closed container believed to contain contraband?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Klein, 860 F.2d 1489 (9th Cir. 1988):

Finally, no specific closed container believed to contain contraband was seen being placed inside appellant's automobile. By contrast, in United States v. Salazar, 805 F.2d 1394 (9th Cir.1986), a brown shopping bag, from which wrapped packages of cocaine were known to have been distributed, was observed being placed inside a car. In Salazar, we held that prior police knowledge of the specific, closed container required a separate search warrant following the vehicle stop. Facts in this case do not sufficiently parallel the facts of Salazar to warrant a similar conclusion.
