People v. Superior Court (Meyers)

In People v. Superior Court (Meyers) (1979) 25 Cal.3d 67, the court held police officers could legitimately seize items not enumerated in a search warrant, but identified by the burglary victim during the course of a police search. As the court said: ". . . by pointing out to Officer Riddell items of their stolen property, Mr. and Mrs. Lane provided the requisite 'rational link' between the articles confiscated and possible criminal behavior by defendant." ( Id., at pp. 74-75.)
