In what circumstances will a court grant a search warrant to search for heroin with a street value of more than $100,000 found in a car with a quantity of heroin in the back of the vehicle?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Spearman, 532 F.2d 132 (9th Cir. 1976):

In this case, direct observation connected Spearman's heroin sales only with his apartment. However, affidavits for search warrants must be interpreted in a commonsense fashion. United States v. Ventresca, 380 U.S. 102, 108, 85 S.Ct. 741, 745, 13 L.Ed.2d 684, 688 (1965). We believe the magistrate was justified in inferring probable cause that Spearman would also have heroin concealed in his automobile. Accordingly, we conclude that the search warrant was valid and that the district court properly denied the motion to suppress.
