United States Ninth Circuit

The search of a probationer's car as part of a criminal investigation based on only reasonable suspicion does not violate the Fourth Amendment; procedural distinctions between the Armed Career Criminals Act (ACCA) and federal three strikes law do not deprive an individual sentenced under the ACCA of equal protection or due process.
