I'm assuming this is a follow-up to an earlier question.  I think the answer here is yes, because illegal substances can be hidden in very small places.  That means that just about any place inside the address listed in the warrant can be searched, because the search isn't limited to only small places;  illegal substances can be hidden in larger places, too.

Once again, in cases like these, the detailed facts very often prove to be important. To get reliable advice, you need to discuss all of the facts with your attorney.  You can find a qualified criminal lawyer in a number of places, including our website, http://attorneypages.com

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion.
