1990To justify severing invalid sections of the warrant, the majority relies heavily on Aday v. Superior Court, 55 Cal. 2d 789 , 362 P.2d 47 , 13 Cal. Rptr. 415 (1961), but ignores the court's warning against excessés in the severance doctrine: [T]he danger [is] that warrants might be obtained which are essentially general in character but as to minor items meet the requirement of particularity, and that wholesale seizures might be made under them, in the expectation that the seizure would in any event be upheld as to the property specified.
