California Court of Appeal

Conviction and sentencing of defendant for possession of cocaine base for sale and other related offenses are vacated where because an initial impermissible search of defendant's vehicle revealed no contraband, a second warrantless search of the car at an impound yard, which revealed cocaine hidden in an air vent, was unconstitutional.
