The authority of the police to search a vehicle without a warrant and based on probable cause is extensive. Name the three things that an officer can do after the vehicle is stopped, when the officer has probable cause for the search and the vehicle is mobile. How does the reasonable expectation of privacy support the need for a warrant to search locked trunks or glove compartments? Explain your
answer.
What will be an ideal response?
The things an officer can do after the vehicle is stopped, if he has probable cause for
the search and the vehicle is mobile are: (1) may search the passenger compartment,
(2) may search trunks and closed packages, and (3) may search containers in a car.
Search warrants are required to search locked trunks and glove compartments
because it is reasonable that the expectation of privacy is higher because the car
owner has taken steps to conceal the contents from the public
