United States Ninth Circuit

In a case in which police surveilled the defendant's car, stopped him for a traffic violation, and impounded and searched the car without a warrant, the district court's denial of a motion to suppress cocaine found in the car is reversed, where neither the automobile exception not the community caretaking exception to the warrant requirement applied.
