The following excerpt is from People v. Lopez, 255 Cal.Rptr.3d 526, 453 P.3d 150, 8 Cal.5th 353 (Cal. 2019):
warrantless vehicle searches for identification. No federal or state court has seen fit to adopt the rule; some have expressly rejected it. This, too, lends force to the argument for reevaluating whether such searches are permitted by the Fourth Amendment. (See Moradi-Shalal v. Firemans Fund Ins. Companies (1988) 46 Cal.3d 287, 298, 250 Cal.Rptr. 116, 758 P.2d 58 [reconsidering precedent when the "the clear consensus of ... out-of-state cases" suggests it falls well outside the mainstream].)
