CERTIORARI GRANTED MARCH 19, 1984
BEST AVAILABLE COPY
QUESTIONS PRESENTED
1. Do the Fourth and
Fourteenth Amendments to the United
States Constitution permit law enforce-
ment officers to conduct a search of a
fully mobile “motor home” without a
search warrant, pursuant to the vehicle
exception to the warrant requirement
created by this Court in Carroll v.
United States (1925) 267 U.S. 132, 149,
when the officers have probable cause
to believe the motor home contains that
which is lawfully subject to seizure?
2. Is the underlying basis
for the vehicle exception inherent
mobility, as this Court announced
in Carroll, or did the California
Supreme Court correctly interpret
the United States Constitution
when it repudiated the Carroll
reasoning and announced the underlying
ii.
basis for the vehicle exception as
reduced expectation of privacy?
3. If a motor home is
entitled to different treatment from
other vehicles, how does one distin-
guish between a motor home and any
other vehicle for purposes of the
vehicle exception?

(JA 6-8; CT 41.)
On November 5, 1979, respon-
dent withdrew his not guilty plea and
entered a plea of nolo contendere to the
charge. On January 8, 1980, respondent
was granted probation for a period of
three years. (CT 34-36, 44.)
Respondent's conviction was
affirmed by the California Court of
Appeal on March 18, 1981. On September
8, 1983, the California Supreme Court
reversed respondent's grant of proba-
tion.

in downtown San Diego on May 31, 1979,
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
Agent Robert Williams observed respon-
dent, Charles Carney, approach a young
Mexican boy. Agent Williams watched as
respondent and the boy got into a Dodge
Mini Motor Home which was parked in a
lot at 4th and G Streets. (JA 9-12; RT
4-8, 10.)
Agent Williams noted the
license number of the motor home and
recalled he had, on numerous occasions,
received information that this vehicle
was involved in drug activity. The
information was received by letter
and telephone contacts from an organiza-
tion known as “WETIP" (We Turn In
Pushers). Agent Williams knew the motor
/
/
/

home belonged to Lee Bowman. Williams
also knew an unidentified man had taken
Bowman's place in dealing narcotics, and
exchanging marijuana for sex with young
boys, from the motor home. Williams
estimated the age of the boy respondent
escorted into the motor home to be 15 or
16, maybe 17. (JA 12; RT 8-10, 14-15,
51, 55.)
The boy emerged from the motor
home approximately an hour and a quarter
after entry. Williams, along with
Agents Clem and Peralta, followed the
boy, made contact with him and informed
the boy they were agents conducting a
narcotics investigation. In response
to Williams' questions, the boy stated
the “older man" asked him to have sex
with him. He allowed the older man to
Orally copulate him in exchange for a
small bag of marijuana. JA 12-15;
(RT 15-22.)
Williams took the boy back to
the motor home and had the boy knock on
the door. When respondent opened the
door and stepped out of the motor home,
Williams, Clem and Peralta identified
themselves as agents. Agent Clem
stepped up one step and looked inside
the motor home to see if there were any
other occupants in the vehicle. Clem
observed, in plain view on a table
inside the motor home, a large bag of
marijuana, a small bag of marijuana,
some Ziploc bags and a scale. When
Clem informed Williams of his observa-
tions, Williams placed respondent under
arrest. Photographs of the interior of
the motor home were taken by Agent
Williams. The vehicle was then driven
to the National City office of the
Narcotics Task Force for an inventory.
During the inventory search marijuana
was found inside the cupboard above the
table and inside the refrigerator. (JA
15-22; RT 23-27, 29, 34-35, 40-49,
72-73.)
B. Judgment of the California
Supreme Court
On September 8, 1983, the
California Supreme Court reversed the
order granting probation, holding that a
motor home is fully protected by the
United States Constitution's Fourth
Amendment guarantee against unreasonable
search and seizure and is not subject to
the “automobile exception" to the warrant
requirement. (People v. Carney, supra,
34 Cal.3d 597, 610 [194 Cal.Rptr. 500,
668 P.2d 807]; appen. A to Petn. for
Cert., p. 30.) Underlying the
California Supreme Court's decision is
the premise that inherent mobility has
been supplanted by reduced expectation
of privacy as the primary reason for the
- 9 -
"automobile exception." (People v.
Carney, supra, 34 Cal.3d at pp. 604-605
{194 Cal.Rptr. 500, 668 P.2d 807];
appen. A to Petn. for Cert., pp. 11-17.)
—
SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
The history of the vehicle
exception demonstrates that, since its
inception, mobility has served to in-
dependently justify a warrantless search
of a vehicle. When the exception was
first recognized by this Court in
Carroll v. United States (1925) 267 U.S.
132, mobility was the sole justification
for the exception. It is the inherent
ability of a vehicle to move which
distinguishes the search of a vehicle
from the search of a building.
Inherent mobility has remained
an independent justification for the
vehicle exception despite recognition
of additional justifications based upon
diminished expectations of privacy,
pervasive regulatory schemes and
administrative burdens. These additional
justifications do not detract from the
e ii «
inherent mobility of the vehicle nor do
they detract from mobility as an inde-
pendent justification for the exception.
In United States v. Ross (1982)
456 U.S. 798, the Court's examination of
the Carroll decision reinforced inherent
mobility as an independently sufficient
justification for the vehicle exception.
The inherent mobility associated with a
vehicle justifies the application of the
vehicle exception even when the object of
the search is a “motor home" capable of
supporting a residential use.
This Court has recognized the
critical necessity for providing law
enforcement officers with “bright line"
guidance in search and seizure
situations. "Bright lines” are necessary
so officers can apply the underlying
constitutional abstractions confidently
and consistently in the practical
e 12 «
pursuit of their daily business.
Mobility presents a bright line approach
to vehicle searches. This bright line
guidance is in contrast to the California
Supreme Court's rule which is incapable
of definition or rational application
because it is based on the subjective
analysis of vehicle configuration and
potential current use. Such a rule is
unworkable when one considers law
enforcement will come in contact daily
with every imaginable vehicle in
countless situations.

THE HISTORY OF THE
VEHICLE EXCEPTION
DEMONSTRATES THAT,
SINCE ITS INCEPTION,
MOBILITY HAS SERVED
TO INDEPENDENTLY
JUSTIFY A WARRANTLESS
SEARCH OF A VEHICLE
A. Introduction
In this case the court must
examine the analytical underpinnings of
the vehicle exception to the Fourth
Amendment's general search warrant
requirement. This examination is
required because of the California
Supreme Court's rejection of mobility
(and therefore inherent exigency) as the
basis, supplanting it with a subjective
and elusive “reduced expectation of
privacy” basis. As shall be demonstrated,
the practical difference is both enormous
and critical.
e 14 «
The Fourth Amendment's
guarantee against unreasonable searches
and seizures has been interpreted to
require that searches of private property
normally be performed pursuant to a
search warrant. (Arkansas v. Sanders.
(1979) 442 U.S. 753, 758, disapproved in
part on other grounds in United States v.
Ross, supra, 456 U.S. at p. 824.) Thus,
warrantless searches are per se
unreasonable under the Fourth Amendment,
subject only to a few specifically
established and well-delineated
exceptions. (Mincey v. Arizona (1978)
437 U.S. 385, 390.)
This case concerns one of these
exceptions, recognized at least since
Carroll v. United States, supra, 267 U.S.
at p. 149, which arises when an automobile
or other vehicle is stopped and the
police have probable cause to believe it
e 18 «
contains evidence of a crime. (Colorado
v. Bannister (1980) 449 U.S. l, 3.)
Though petitioner will quarrel with the
title, this exception has come to be
known as the “automobile exception."
(See, Arkansas v. Sanders, supra, 442
U.S. at p. 757.)4/
3. Other exceptions to the warrant
requirement include: search incident to
arrest, Chimel v. California (1969) 395
U.S. 752; consent, Schneckloth v.
Bustamonte (1973) 412 U.S. 218; plain
view, Harris v. United States (1968) 390
U.S. 234; hot pursuit Warden v. Hayden
(1967) 387 U.S. 294; stop and erik,
Terry v. Ohio (1968) 392 U.S. 1;
emergency, Michigan v. ler (1978) 436
U.S. 499; and prevention of loss or
destruction of evidence, Schmerber v.
California (1966) 384 U.S. 757.
4. The term “automobile exception"
is a misnomer. Use of the term
"automobile exception" has served to
create confusion in the courts and in the
minds of officers in determining when a
warrant is required in search cases. The
"automobile exception" applies to
vehicles and vessels of all types and
configurations and thus, is more properly
referred to as a "vehicle exception."
° Moe
The exceptions to the warrant
requirement have been established where
(Footnote 4 cont.)
(See State v. Bouchles (Me. 1983) 457
A.2d 798, 799-800, search of a van;
United States v. Mesa (5th Cir. 1981) 660
F.2d 1070, 1073, 1078, search of sailing
vessel, a van, and two campers; State v.
Million (Ariz. 1978) 583 P.2d 897,

Cir. 1977) 544 F.2d 1275, , search of
an airplane; United States v. Lovenguth
(9th Cir. 1975) 514 F.2d 96, 99, searc
of a comoer; and, United States v. Bozada
(8th Cir. 1973) 473 F.2d 389, 391, search
of a tractor-trailer.
The California Supreme Court's
mistaken interpretation of the Carroll
rule as creating an “automobile exception”
instead of a vehicle exception appears to
be the basis for its holding in the
Carney case. The majority goes to great
rs & in an attempt to distinguish
between an automobile, which would be
covered by an “automobile exception,” and
a motor home, which the court calls a
"hybrid" between an automobile and a
house which the California court argues,
would not come under an “automobile
caneatien.* 0 (Perr cy Carne supra,
34 Cal.3d at p. =610; [94 Cal. per
500, 668 P.2d 807] appen. A _ to Pet. for
Cert. pp. 9-31.) Had the California
Supreme Court correctly characterized the
Carroll rule as creating a vehicle
exception, it would have been forced to
e 19
it was concluded the public interest
required some flexibility in the applica-
tion of the general rule that a valid
warrant is a prerequisite for a search.
(Arkansas v. Sanders, supra, 442 U.S. at
p. 759.) These exceptions have been
carefully drawn and generally are charac-
terized by clear and coherent guidelines,
or “bright lines,” which are critical to
the consistent and efficient application
of these constitutional abstractions by
the nation's constables.
The vehicle exception was
established due to the unique ability
of a vehicle to move from one place to
another. Thus, the ability to move
creates an exigent circumstance which
TFootnote 4 cont.)
affirm the Carney case. The motor home
involved in this case is a vehicle, as
capable of movement as any automobile or
other vehicle.

serves to excuse the warrant requirement
where there is probable cause to believe
a vehicle contains seizable materials.
(Carroll v. United States, supra, 267
U.S. at pp. 149-156.)
B.
Any examination of the vehicle
exception must necessarily begin with an
examination of Carroll v. United States,
supra, 267 U.S. 132. The Carroll Court
engaged in an extensive analysis of the
history of warrantless searches for
contraband concealed in vessels and
vehicles. (Id., at pp. 150-153.) The
Court concluded:
"We have made a somewhat
extended reference to these
statutes to show that the
guaranty of freedom from
unreasonable searches and
e 39 «
seizures by the Fourth
Amendment has been construed,
practically since the beginning

pecause the vedic: ar

ity or jurisdiction in which

"Having thus established
that contraband goods concealed
and illegally transported in an
au e or 0 veh e may
searc or wit ta
warrant, we come now to con-
sider under what circumstances
such search may be made. .. .*
supee, 267. oates ae us?
sis added.)
The Carroll Court reasoned
this history justified a clearly defined
vehicle exception to the Fourth
Amendment's warrant requirement.
"On reason and authority
the true rule is that if the
» 2 «
search and seizure without a
warrant are made upon probable
cause, that is, upon a belief,
reasonably arising out of cir-
cumstances known to the seizing
officer, that an automobile or
other vehicle contains that
which by law is subject to
seizure and destruction, the
search and seizure are valid.
The Fourth Amendment is to be
construed in the light of what
was deemed an unreasonable
search and seizure when it was
adopted, and in a manner which
will conserve public interests
as well as the interests and
rights of individual citizens."
(Carroll v. United States,
supra, 267 U.S. at p. 149,
emphasis added.)
Carroll did not distinguish between
vehicles because of their configuration
Or present or potential uses. Rather,
the exigency due to the vehicle's ability
to move justified the exception. (See,
United States v. Ross (1982) 456 U.S.
798, 806-807.)
Between 1925 and 1970, when the
Court came down with the watershed
decision of Chambers v. Maroney (1970)
» 21 «
399 U.S. 42, the Court had few oppor-
tunities to apply the vehicle
exception. >/
A unanimous Court applied
Carroll to hold that passage of the car
from the street to the garage did not
affect the right to search the vehicle.
(Scher v. United States (1938) 305 U.S.
251, 254-255.) Though it was not moving,
it remained mobile.
The Court approved the search
of a vehicle transported to the police
station in Chambers v. Maroney, supra,
5. In two of those decisions the
Court simply reiterated the fact probable
Cause was a necessary predicate to justify
the warrantless search of a vehicle.
(Husty v. ae states States (1931) 282 U.S.
6 00; Dyke v. Taylo e Taylor Implement Co.
(1968) 391 U. "318 221- 3. ) In Dyke,
the Court refused to apply the exception
to a mobile vehicle because the officers
lacked probable cause. Id., at pp. 221l-
222.) In a third case, this Court
rejected the argument a vehicle consti-
tuted a place where one had a legitimate
Privacy right. (Brinegar v. United
States (1949) 338 U.S. 160, 176-177.)
e 2 «
399 U.S. 42, by concluding there was
probable cause to search at the time the
Car was seized and the probable cause and
inherent mobility of the vehicle still
obtained at the police station. (Chambers
v. Maroney, supra, 399 U.S. at pp.
50-52.) The inherent mobility of the
vehicle caused the Court to characterize
the opportunity to search a vehicle as
"fleeting." (Ibid.) Furthermore,
mobility created a circumstance where, in
most cases, the probable cause to search
a particular vehicle for a particular
article will be unforeseeable. (Id., at
pp. 50-51.) Thus, as Chambers pointed
out, mobility was the source of numerous
problems associated with the search of a
vehicle.
An argument was presented to
the Court in Chambers that police should
be allowed only to immobilize a vehicle
e 23 «
while they sought a warrant. In
response, the Court stated:
“Arguably, because of the
preference for a magistrate's
judgment, only the immobiliza-
tion of the car should be per-
mitted until a search warrant
is obtained; arguably, only the
‘lesser’ intrusion is per-
missible until the magistrate
authorizes the ‘greater." But
which is the ‘greater’ and
which the ‘lesser’ intrusion is
itself a debatable question and
the answer may depend on a
variety of circumstances. For
constitutional purposes, we see
no difference between on the
one hand seizing and holding a
car before presenting the prob-
able cause issue to a
magistrate and on the other
hand carrying out an immediate
search without a warrant.
Given probable cause to search,
either course is reasonable

In the years following the
Court's decision in Chambers, the vehicle
exception was frequently discussed.
Consistently appearing in cases involving
the vehicle exception is the concept
there is a constitutional difference, for
purposes of warrantless searches, between
Structures and vehicles. The reason for
the difference is the inherent mobility
of the vehicles._/

The conclusion that ability to

actual movement is evident from the fact
the Court has continued to apply the
vehicle exception to justify warrantless
searches of movable vehicles. (Florida

requires the identification of various
factors associated with vehicular travel
which serve to reduce privacy in compari-

Because individual factors are important
in such an analysis, the case law has
developed a grocery list of such factors.
For example, the regulatory scheme

expectation of privacy.
". . « Automobiles, unlike
homes, are subjected to per-

mental regulation and
controls, including periodic

requirements. As an everyday
occurrence, police stop and

noted, or if headlights or other
safety equipment are not in
proper working order." ‘Sout

The list of factors published is by no
means exhaustive. The articulation of
additional factors is limited only by the
imaginative capacity of this
country's finest legal minds.
Another justification for allowing a
warrantless search of a vehicle is
premised on the difficulty law
@ 28 «
enforcement might have in providing
a seized vehicle with secure
storage. A vehicle's size, value
and inherent mobility make secure
storage difficult and make such
objects attractive targets for theft
and vandalism. A constitutional
requirement to seize and hold a
vehicle while waiting for a search
warrant would place a severe, even
impossible, burden on law
enforcement. (Arkansas v. Sanders,
supra, 442 U.S. at pp. 765-766, fn.
14; United States v. Chadwick,
supra, 433 U.S. at p. 13, fn. 7.)
Furthermore, given these risks, it
can be seen that impound and storage
might well be a greater instrusion
than immediate search. (See,
Chambers v. Maroney, supra, 399 U.S.

At any rate, it is
apparent these additional justifica-
tions do not detract from the inde-
pendent sufficiency of mobility as a

THI
MOBILITY AS AN INDEPENDENT
JUSTIFICATION FOR THE
VEHICLE EXCEPTION
ertiefest strc Pestle
Acknowledging an indisputable
need for clarification in the law of
vehicle searches, the Court traced the
origin of the vehicle exception and care-
fully examined the basis for the excep-
tion in ted States v. Ross, supra, 456
U.S. 798. In particular, the Court ex-
amined the Carroll decision and its
historical backgound. (Id., at pp.
. 804-809.) The Ross Court found, as the
| Carroll Court found, it is consistent
with the Fourth Amendment's concerns for
preserving the public interests as well
as the rights of the individual to allow
» $1 «
the warrantless search of a motor
vehicle, when the search is undertaken
with probable cause to believe the
vehicle contains that which is subject
to seizure. (Id., at p. 805; Carroll v.
United States, supra, 267 U.S. at p.
149.)
Ross makes it clear the
vehicle exception announced in Carroll is
based upon the inherent and obvious dif-
ference between a vehicle and a structure
-- the ability to move. (United States v.
Ross, supra, 456 U.S. at pp. 805-806.)
The Court concluded:
"Thus, since its earliest
days Congress had recognized
the impracticability of
securing a warrant in cases
involving the transportation of
contraband goods. It is this
impracticability, viewed in
historical perspective, that
provided the basis for the
Carroll decision. Given the
nature of an automobile in
transit, the Court recognized
oe 39 «
that an immediate intrusion is
necessary if police officers
are to secure the illicit
substance. In this class of
cases, the Court held that a
warrantless search of an auto-
mobile is not unreasonable."
(United States v. Ross, supra,
456 U.S. at pp. 806-807; foot-
notes ommitted.)
The exception established by Carroll
applies if there is probable cause to
search a movable vehicle. (Id., at p.
809.) Realizing the possibility a par-
ticular application of the rule may
appear to be unfair, the Court stated:
". . . The rules as applied in
particular cases may appear
unsatisfactory. They reflect,
however, a reasoned application
of the more general rule that
if an individual gives the
police probable cause to
believe a vehicle is .
transporting contraband, he
loses the right to proceed on
his way without official inter-
ference." (Id., at p. 807, fn. 9.)

B. The Inherent Mobility
Associated With a Vehicle
Justifies the Application
of the Vehicle Exception
Even When the Vehicle, Like
a Motor Home, is Capable
of Supporting a Residential
Use.
The fact an individual may
display some greater expectation of pri-
vacy in a particular vehicle or class of
vehicles does not overcome mobility as an
independent justification for applying
the exception. Contrary to the
California Supreme Court's view, privacy
expectations have not supplanted mobility
as the touchstone of vehicle search
analysis. (People v. Carney, supra, 34
Cal.3d at p. 605 [194 Cal.Rptr. 500, 668
P.2d 807]; appen. A to Petn. for Cert. p.
14,)2/
9. Following the Court's opinion in
Katz v. United States (1967) 389 U.S.
, there was renewed awareness that the
Fourth Amendment protects privacy
» 24 <
The conclusion enhanced privacy
expectations do not overcome inherent
mobility is evident from both Ross and
Carroll. In reaffirming mobility as the
basis for the vehicle exception, the
Court in Ross observed:
"In light of this
established history, individ-
uals always had been on notice
that movable vessels may be
stopped and searched on facts
giving rise to probable cause
that the vehicle contains
contraband, without the protec-
tion afforded by a magistrate's
(Footnote 9 cont.)
interests. (See, Ex parte Jackson (1878)
96 U.S. 727, 733, where the Court found
an expectation of privacy in an
individual's posted letters and
packages.) What Katz added to Fourth
Amendment analysis is a two step model to
test privacy expectations. First, has
the individual exhibited an actual or
subjective expectation of privacy?
Second, is society prepared to recognize
as “reasonable” this subjective
expectation? (Katz v. United States,
supra, at p. 347 (Harlan, J. concurring);
Smith v. Maryland (1979) 442 U.S. 735,
740.) As we shall demonstrate, this
= 38 «
prior evaluation of those facts."
(United States v. Ross, Supra, 456
U.S. at p. 806, fn. 8.)
Because they are mobile, society is not
prepared to recognize as reasonable any
subjective expectations of privacy in the
contents of a vehicle. Moreover, Ross
indicates individuals have always been on
notice that such an expectation is
unreasonable.
The configuration and present
Or potential use of the vehicle or
vessel may evidence an actual expec-
tation of privacy. 22/ However,
(Footnote 9 cont.)
expectation is not reasonable on the part
of a person who has given officers prob-
able cause to believe his vehicle con-
tains matter subject to seizure.
(United States v. Ross, supra, 456 U.S.
at p. 806, fn. 8.)
10. Individuals have exhibited
a subjective expectation of privacy in
the contents of vehicles over the years.
Cars, for example are equipped with locks
and trunks to insure privacy.
» 26 o
configuration and present or potential
use do not overcome mobility to place a
vehicle outside the vehicle exception.
In establishing the vehicle exception,
Carroll distinguished automobiles, ships,
boats and wagons from structures.
(Carroll v. United States, supra, 267
U.S. at p. 153.) Sailors live on ships.
The pioneers lived out of their wagons.
(Footnote 10 cont.)
Individuals place their most cherished
and intimate possessions in a car
expecting them to be secret. Writers's
Carry manuscripts, professors carry
tests, judges carry draft opinions,
Criminals carry weapons, fruits and
evidence. Many members of society
engaged in their first intimate contact
in the confines of a vehicle parked ina
secluded place. Other members of society
actually live in their automobiles.
(See, South Dakota v. Opperman, supra,
428 U.S. 364, 388, fn. 6, (Marshall, J.
dissenting); Wilson, The Warrantless

Justification (1980) 32 Hastings L.J.

Amendment Principles (1980) 17 San Diego

These vehicles and vessels, which Carroll
distinguished from structures, histori-
cally served as personal residences with
the attendant privacy expectations of a
residence .2+/ Even though vehicles may
serve the identical residential function
as a house, Carroll recognized they are
subject to different treatment than
structures when there is probable cause
to search. The reason for the difference
ll. The historical function for
these vessels and vehicles contrasts
starkly with motor homes like the one
that was searched in the instant case.
Motor homes and like vehicles are com-
monly referred to as "recreational
vehicles." This term suggests a very
different purpose for the vehicle than
residence. An individual who goes to the
ballpark on a Sunday afternoon would be
led to believe a motor home's primary
function is to serve as a travelling
party.
In this case the record is
devoid of any reference to Mr. Carney's
use of this vehicle as his personal
residence. Thus, his claim is dependant
solely on potential use of the vehicle as
a residence and speculation.
= @ «
is due to the inherent ability of the
vehicles and vessels to move. (Carroll
v. United States, supra, 267 U.S. at p.
153.)
It is therefore apparent the
Court in Carroll was not concerned with
the configuration of the vehicle or its
potential or present use (other than its
use to conceal seizable material).
Subsequent appellate decisions have
applied the reasoning of Carroll to
vehicles and vessels which could be used
as a residence, and in some cases which
served as a residence .22/ The doctrine
therefore applies to Mr. Carney's motor
home for the same reason it was applied
to Mr. Ross’ automobile: both vehicles
were mobile.

exception to motor homes, see, United
States v. Miller (10th Cir. 197
F.2d 582; State v. Lepley (Minn. 1984)

The policies which supported
the original exception still apply to
support the vehicle exception's applica-
tion to Mr. Carney's motor home. Society
is entitled to be protected from the
danger associated with criminal activity
conducted from and in motor vehicles.

activity has magnified during the 60

years since Carroll. The sheer volume of
traffic presents a significant hindrance
to detection of criminal activity.
Vehicles such as motor homes have room to
transport vast quantities of drugs,
weapons and contraband. Motor homes may
even serve as mobile drug laboratories.
In addition, the mobility of today's
vehicles is far greater than that of the
Oldsmobile Roadster in Carroll. Today's
vehicles are faster, have better roads to
travel, may have off-road capability, and
may be fully self-contained. Thus, the
exigency which attends inherent mobility
exists with greater force in a motor
home.
An unreasonable danger would be
presented to law enforcement officers
if they were required to seize a vehicle
and hold it while awaiting a warrant.
With ever increasing frequency, police
» 41 «
are being shot and killed in the course
of their duties. To seize and hold a
vehicle presents an obvious danger to the
officer or officers required to perform
this furction. It also prevents the
officers from responding to other
Situations which require their presence,
thereby creating a burden on the public.
Moreover, to provide secure storage for
the vehicles could be impossible, thereby
exposing the public to significant finan-
cial liability as well. (See, Arkansas
766, fn. 143; United States v. Chadwick,
supra, 433 U.S. at p. 13, fn. 7.)22/
While the need for the vehicle
exception continued to build over time,
the privacy interests involved have
13. As the Court noted in Chambers
v. Maroney, supra, 399 U.S. 42, there is
no constitutional difference between
seizing a vehicle and holding it before
e 642 «
remained constant. Although an indi-
vidual in a motor home may have a
"heightened" expectation of privacy in
the contents of his vehicle, his expec-
tation is no higher than the wagoneer's
expectation of privacy or the sailor's
expectation of privacy in the contents of
their vehicles or vessels. The original
analysis turned on the inherent mobility
of vehicles, and mobility remains to
justify application of the vehicle excep-
tion to motor homes. Though an individual
may believe he is entitled to privacy in
the contents of his motor home, he

presenting the probable cause issue to a
magistrate and carrying out an immediate
search without a warrant. (Id., at pp.
51-52.) In the case of a motor home, the
analysis applies with equal force. The
intrusion of seizing and holding a motor
home while a warrant is obtained cannot
easily be distinguished from the intru-
sion of allowing a warrantless search
based on probable cause.

sacrifices that right when he provides
law enforcement officers with probable
cause to believe his operable motor home
contains seizable material. (United

THE CRITICAL BRIGHT LINE
RULE PRESENTED BY AN EXCEPTION
BASED ON INHERENT MOBILITY IS A
STARK CONTRAST TO THE CALIFORNIA
SUPREME COURT'S RULE WHICH IS
INCAPABLE OF DEFINITION OR
RATIONAL APPLICATION BECAUSE
IT IS BASED ON THE SUBJECTIVE
ANALYSIS OF VEHICLE CONFIGURA-
TION AND POTENTIAL USE
Following Ross, analysis of a
vehicle search involves two questions:
first, was there probable cause to search
the vehicle; second, was the vehicle
capable of movement? It is a test law
enforcement officers are capable of
applying in a consistent fashion. The
analysis provides society and the
individual with adequate safeguards.
Under such a test, the officers look at
objective factors which impact mobility
and probable cause, not nebulous factors
such as configuration, present use, or
likelihood it will be moved.
oe 48 «
The mobility analysis presented
fulfills the need for a “bright line"
approach to search cases. The action
taken by an officer upon a moment's
reflection will be subjected to micro-
scopic analysis by lawyers and judges over
a period of years. In this case, the
decision to search has undergone five
years of review, now including review
by the highest tribunal in the land.

Fourth and Fourteenth
Amendments ‘can only be
realized if the police are
acting under a set of rules
which, in most instances, makes
it possible to reach a correct
determination beforehand as to
whether an invasion of privacy
is justified in the interest of
law enforcement.’ LaFave,

The Court's decision in Ross was a
response toc the indisputable necessity
for a bright line rule in vehicle search
cases. (United States v. Ross, supra,
456 U.S. at pp. 803-804, )24/ That Ross
served to clarify the law in this area
was acknowledged by the concurring
14. The necessity for a bright line
approach to vehicle search cases has been
repeatedly recognized by this Court.
Justice Harlan, in his concurring opinion
in Coolidge v. New Hampshire, supra, 403
U.S. at p. 490, referred to the uncer-
tainty then existing as “intolerable.”
Justice Rehnquist characterized the law
relating to searches of vehicles as
"something less than a seamless web."
(Cady v. Dombrowski, supra, 413 U.S. at p.
440. More recently, Justice Powell
stated that the law of search and seizure
with respect to automobiles is intol-
erably confusing, to the point where the
"Court apparently cannot even agree on
what it has previously held, let alone on
how these cases should be decided.”

justices. (United States v. Ross, supra,
456 U.S. at p. 825 (Blackmun, J.
concurring); id., at p. 826 (Powell, J.
concurring) .)
The ease of application of a
rule which centers on probable cause and
inherent mobility is evident from the two
most recent vehicle search cases ruled on
by this Court. In Michigan v. Thomas,
supra, 458 U.S. 259, the Court stated:
"We reverse. In Chambers’
v. Maroney, 399 U.S. 42 (1970),
we held that when police offi-
cers have probable cause to
believe there is contraband
inside an automobile that has
been stopped on the road, the
officers may conduct a
warrantless search of the
vehicle, even after it has been
impounded and is in police
custody. We firmly reiterated
this holding in Texas v. White,
423 U.S. 67 (1975). See also
United States v. Ross, 456 U.S.
798, 807, n. 9 (1982). It is
thus clear that the justifica-
tion to conduct such a
warrantless search does not
vanish once the car has been
immobilized; nor does it depend
» 46 «
upon a reviewing court's
assessment of the likelihood in
each particular case that the
Car would have been driven
away, or that its contents
would have been tampered with,
during the period required for
the police to obtain a warrant.
See ibid." (Michigan v. Thomas,
supra, 458 u.S. at p. 261.
The Court's most recent vehicle search
case followed Thomas and reversed the
state court's suppression ruling.
(Florida v. Meyers, supra, U.S. Bae
(44 CCH S.CT. Bull.P. B2343, B2344-
B2345].) Both cases relied on the
inherent mobility attached to the
vehicles. The test applies with equal
vigor to a motor home.
The California Supreme Court
expressly rejected the bright line
mobility test and supplanted it with a
test based on an individual's expectation
of privacy in a vehicle due to the
- 50 -
configuration and potential residential
use Of a vehicle. (People v. Carney,
supra, 34 Cal.3d at pp. 605-608 [194
Cal.Rptr. 500, 668 P.2d 807]; appen. A
to Petn. for Cert., pp. 14-26.) The
California Court concluded that the.
expectations of privacy associated with a
"motor home" precluded application of the
"automobile exception" to justify the
warrantless search of this class of
vehicle. (Id., at p. 610; appen. A to
Petn. for Cert. p. 30.) In so holding,
the California Supreme Court not only
ignored this Court's decisions in Carroll
and Ross, it also created a test inca-
pable of consistent and rational
application.
The California Court justifies
its holding by stating that motor homes
are “hybrids” with the mobility attri-
butes of automobiles and most of the
e S$} «
privacy characteristics of a house,
(People v. Carney, supra, 34 Cal.3d at p.
606; appen. A to Petn. for Cert. p. 17.)
The characterization of a motor home as a
hybrid is of no assistance to law
enforcement. This particular hybrid has
the characteristics of a chameleon and
may cover the entire range of vehicle
configurations. In this case,
Mr. Carney's motor home was referred to
in the record as a “mini motor home," a
"camper," a “motor home,” and a “van."
(JA 12-14, 20-22; RT 8-14.)
The term “motor home" defies
objective definition. A subcompact car
where the driver keeps a sleeping bag may
be "home" just as a Winnebago with
interior plumbing and sleeping for six
may simply provide transportation. It is
wholly impractical to impose on police
the burden of assigning a constitutionally
e $2 «
significant value to a person's subjec-
tive expectation of privacy according to
the shape, make, and present use of a
vehicle. The California Supreme Court
does not even provide guidance as to what
configurations fit this new class of
vehicles or what characteristics of those
vehicles set them apart from ordinary
vehicles. (See, People v. Carney, supra,
34 Cal.3d at p. 614 (Richardson, J.
dissenting); appen. A. to Petn. for Cert.
pp. 46-48.)
Such a rule should not be given
constitutional force. By erasing the
bright line of mobility and replacing it
with fuzzy concepts of configuration and
potential use, the California Supreme
Court announces a new search and seizure
issue which will require law enforcement
to work “at risk" and will both
encourage and require years of litigation
to fashion into a workable rule.
» §3 «
CONCLUS ION
In cases involving the warrant-
less search of a vehicle, this Court, in
Carroll, presented a rule based upon
probable cause and inherent mobility. In
Ross, the Carroll rule was given new
vitality.
On a daily basis law enforce-
ment will come in contact with every
imaginable vehicle in infinite
Situations. The officers will be
expected to make reasonable decisions on
search and seizure issues based upon
objective factors. To ensure these offi-
cers are able to perform their functions
to protect society and at the same time
protect individual rights, bright line
rules of general application must be
utilized. A vehicle search rule based
upon mobility fulfills that requirement.

In the face of this need for a
consistent application of the vehicle
exception, the California Supreme Court
has substituted a rule incapable of
Gefinition, and inconsistent in
application. The California Supreme
Court's rule places constitutional
significance on the configuration and
potential use of a class of vehicle they
decline to define.
The policy factors which served
to support the original exception apply
with greater force today to support
application of the vehicle exception to
all vehicles, including Mr. Carney's
motor home.
Accordingly, petitioner
respectfully requests this Court reverse
the decision of the California Supreme

established in Carroll and Ross.
