Court of Appeals of New York

Evidence was insufficient to establish that the alleged inventory search of defendant's vehicle was valid. The officer who found a loaded weapon in defendant's glove box did not fill out a meaningful inventory list; if a departmental policy regarding inventory searches existed, it was not shown to be rationally designed to meet the proper objectives of inventory searches.
