Question about ? Unlawful Vehicle Searches & Seizures IN THE USA #search #notfair
3Although people in the United States are entitled to privacy and freedom from government intrusion, there is a limit to that privacy. State or federal police officers are allowed, where justified, to search your premises, car, or other property in order to look for and seize illegal items, stolen goods or evidence of a crime. What rules must the police follow when engaging in searches and seizures? What can they do in upholding the laws, and what can't they do?

The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits police from conducting “unreasonable searches and seizures.” And these constitutional protections apply to search and seizures of a vehicle. If police search a vehicle in violation of the Fourth Amendment, any evidence of illegal activity obtained during the search will typically be inadmissible in court.
Here are the basics of how courts determine whether a vehicle search was lawful.
(This article is based on U.S. Constitutional law as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court. Note that your state’s laws might offer more protections.)
Vehicle Stops
When police stop a vehicle, it is considered a seizure for Fourth Amendment purposes. And for a vehicle search to be justified, the initial stop must have been lawful. In most situations, the legality of a traffic stop turns on whether police had reasonable suspicion to believe the driver broke the law. If police had no legitimate reason to pull the driver over, the stop—and subsequent search—are illegal. There are only limited circumstances—immigration and DUI checkpoints for example—that allow law enforcement to detain vehicles without reasonable suspicion.
