Is a warrantless search of a parcel seized from a pickup truck after the arrest of an alleged drug dealer not controlling the search of the parcel?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Salih, 173 Cal.App.3d 1009, 219 Cal.Rptr. 603 (Cal. App. 1985):
The fact the search of the parcel was not made contemporaneously with the arrest also is not controlling. In the recent case of United States v. Johns (1985) 469 U.S. 478, 105 S.Ct. 881, 83 L.Ed.2d 890, a warrantless search occurring three days after the packages of marijuana were seized from defendants' pickup trucks was held to be reasonable.
