Re: search warrant

Whether or not the evidence seized is admissable would be determined by the judge at a pretrial hearing on the Motion to Suppress filed by your lawyer.

If it is admitted as evidence, then your attorney, at trial, will demonstrate that the property was unsecured, and that the drugs could have been left there by anyone.
