What is the test for obtaining a general warrant for search and seizure of electronic devices?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Marks v. Clarke, 102 F.3d 1012 (9th Cir. 1997):

The requirement that a warrant not be a general one is in part a function of the probable cause rule and is in part derived from the fourth amendment requirement that warrants be ones "particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

United States v. Hillyard, 677 F.2d 1336, 1339 (9th Cir.1982).
