Hayward, CA asked in Criminal Law for California

Q: If you are raided and they find something not listed on the warrant can it be used?

My friend was pulled over due to being on informal probation and recognized by an officer. When searched drugs were found, they raided the house 2 days later and found a gun in his room. He had been in jail for 2 days. He has less than 6 mo to live and they won’t let him out on bail even though he always complies. Only drugs were listed on the warrant, is there anything we can do to help get him bailed. The medical at the jail even wrote that he should be released due to health. We don’t want him to die in jail. Please help
