Can a search of a bag without a warrant be upheld?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Chavers, 105 Cal.App.3d 505, 164 Cal.Rptr. 449 (Cal. App. 1980):
The search of the bag can be upheld only if the People can show probable cause for the search, and some exigent circumstances that would justify an immediate search thereof. The fact that the search took place in the field does not eliminate the need for a warrant. (People v. Dalton, supra, 24 Cal.3d at 857, 157 Cal.Rptr. 497, 598 P.2d 467.)
