Comment Title: No need to run from the police anymore boys
The Supreme Court just ruled that limits cops searching your car even if you get arrested. "Police may search a vehicle without a warrant only when the suspect could reach for a weapon or try to destroy evidence, or when it is "reasonable to believe" there is evidence in the car supporting the crime at hand."
