The 4th amendment makes it so people who enforce laws can't take stuff away or do searches that are not reasonable.  If they get a warrant, they can only look for items that are on it.  If they find something that could be evidence that is not on the list, they can't use it. Also, if a search is a reasonable one they don't need a warrant.
