: How Appealing"Supreme Court Cuts Back Officers' Searches of Vehicles"
Today in The Washington Post, Robert Barnes reports that "Supreme Court Limits Warrantless Car Searches."
David G. Savage of The Los Angeles Times reports that "Supreme Court scales back police right to search cars; The ruling limits searches to cases when there may be a weapon within the suspect's reach or evidence related to the arrest; The decision sets aside broader powers granted by the court in 1981." The newspaper also contains an editorial entitled "Supreme Court puts brakes on car searches; The justices not only clarified the rules on police searches of vehicles, they showed that the desire to hold officers accountable to the Constitution crosses ideological lines."
Jess Bravin of The Wall Street Journal reports that "High Court Curbs Power of Police to Search Cars."
And in The Arizona Daily Star, Howard Fischer reports that "US justices limit vehicle searches."
