Do you mean the girls may have left them there on purpose?

No, I mean the cops... if they didn't have red nails on the warrant, could they collect any that were non-red?

Nevertheless, this is something where Kim is in little danger of being caught in a lie

This is kinda what I was getting at earlier... She was debunking all the "lies" she said were being spread around... She said the finger nail painting was a lie... And I asked, if she didn't see her painting her nails, how does she know someone saying she did it a lie. And if she says its a lie and she doesn't know if it's a lie or not, is she lying....

whew.... does that make sense?

should be

Actually the cops could collect them - in general the cops are allowed to collect other items of evidence that they happen to come upon in a search, even if those items are not specifically identified in the search warrant, so long as the cops are lawful in being where they are at the time and place they observe the other items of evidence.

And if she says its a lie and she doesn't know if it's a lie or not, is she lying

She's not in danger of perjury if she didn't know it was a lie (and the DA or a jury buys her story that she didn't know it was a lie or at least has reasonable doubt)
