Explain the justifications for the automobile exception to the requirement for a warrant
What will be an ideal response?
The mobility of automobiles creates the circumstance whereby it would be unreasonable to expect suspects to voluntarily remain in place while the officer returns to the station to obtain a warrant and then find a judge to sign it. Likewise, it would be unreasonable to detain a suspect for the length of time needed to obtain a signed warrant. A diminished expectation of privacy surrounds the automobile. A vehicle is used for transportation and not as a residence or repository of personal belongings. The vehicle's occupants and contents are in plain view. Vehicles are necessarily highly regulated by the government (Robbins v. California).
