Does a search warrant need to be obtained immediately or immediately at the police station?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. McKinnon, 103 Cal.Rptr. 897, 500 P.2d 1097, 7 Cal.3d 899 (Cal. 1972):
1 Such a search would be valid pursuant to Carroll v. United States, 267 U.S. 132, 153, 45 S.Ct. 280, 69 L.Ed. 543. Since the car was Not searched immediately on the highway Nor immobilized until a warrant could be obtained, the court's statement concerning the car's continuing 'mobility' clearly indicates that the search at the police station must be considered to have been 'immediate.'
