United States Ninth Circuit

Conviction and sentencing of defendant for counterfeiting currency and the possession of counterfeit currency with the intent to use, 18 U.S.C. sections 471 and 474, is upheld where a warrantless search of a car in which defendant was a passenger was not a constitutional breach since taken on the whole, several interrelated factors converged to create a fair probability that the search would yield evidence of a crime.
