As the Court in Go-Bart Importing Co. v. United States, supra [ 282 U.S. 344 , 51 S.Ct. 153 , 75 L.Ed. 374 ], pointed out, things which are visible and accessible and in the offender’s immediate custody can be seized by the police officers as was done in Marron v. United States, 275 U.S. 192 , 48 S.Ct. 74 , 72 L.Ed. 231 . * * * [T]his justifies * * * the seizure of the two vials and the narcotics paraphernalia * * *. 417 F.2d at 105 .”
