What is the legal test for conducting a search of a hotel room that is not a booking search?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Laiwa, 195 Cal.Rptr. 503, 34 Cal.3d 711, 669 P.2d 1278 (Cal. 1983):
9 Because this case does not involve a true booking search, we have no occasion to determine the ultimate limits of such a search. (See, e.g., Reeves v. State (Alaska 1979) 599 P.2d 727, 735-738; State v. Kaluna (1974) 55 Hawaii 361, 520 P.2d 51, 60-62.)
