If their search is conducted completely in conformance to the wording of the warrant they can only search for and seize what the warrant allows AND anything else which lies IN PLAIN SIGHT. If they obtain your consent to conduct a search, they may search ANYWHERE and seize ANYTHING they find that is of an unlawful, or illegal nature.
