Police can’t search the trunk of a car without good cause, California court rules
In a 3-0 ruling Tuesday, the Third District Court of Appeal in Sacramento overturned a judge’s decision allowing Stockton police to offer evidence in court of a loaded handgun an officer had found in a car trunk. The officer had seen a youth walk stiffly as he entered the car, reach toward his waistband, then walk out smoothly. When a search of the interior turned up nothing, the officer opened the trunk and found the gun.
