Does a search warrant need to be obtained for a vehicle without a warrant?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Cardenas, 129 Cal.App.3d 1038, 181 Cal.Rptr. 478 (Cal. App. 1982):

And Chimel v. California, supra, confirms this view: "Our holding today is of course entirely consistent with the recognized principle that, assuming the existence of probable cause, automobiles and other vehicles may be searched without warrants 'where it is not practicable to secure a warrant, because the vehicle can be quickly moved out of the locality or jurisdiction in which the warrant must be sought. [Citations.]" (399 U.S. at p. 50, fn. 8, 90 S.Ct. at p. 1980, fn. 8.)
