Is a motor home validly searched as an instrumentality of the crime?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Carney, 194 Cal.Rptr. 500, 34 Cal.3d 597, 668 P.2d 807 (Cal. 1983):
1 The People have apparently abandoned their contention, raised below, that the motor home was validly searched as an "instrumentality of the crime." In any event, our decision in People v. Minjares (1979) 24 Cal.3d 410, 421-422, 153 Cal.Rptr. 224, 591 P.2d 514, explicitly rejected this argument.
