California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Superior Court (Overland), 203 Cal.App.3d 1114, 250 Cal.Rptr. 458 (Cal. App. 1988):
3 We do not uphold the instant search upon a finding that the facts established sufficient additional exigent circumstances to justify the intrusion. Nevertheless, we observe the record to contain some significant evidence on this point. At least one member of the surveillance team observed defendant accompanied by one or two females as he made his rounds and when he deposited coins at the bank. The identity and relationship of these women remained unknown at the time of the search. The possibility that they were confederates and could have access to defendant's truck or its contents was sufficient under the circumstances to justify an immediate search. (See, e.g., People v. Dumas, supra, 9 Cal.3d at p. 885, 109 Cal.Rptr. 304, 512 P.2d 1208.)
