MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Cervantes, 703 F.3d 1135 (9th Cir. 2012):
passenger to drive the car back to his home. These findings are not clearly erroneous. See United States v. Feldman, 788 F.2d 544, 550 (9th Cir.1986) (We uphold a district court's findings of fact at a suppression hearing unless they are clearly erroneous.), cert. denied,479 U.S. 1067, 107 S.Ct. 955, 93 L.Ed.2d 1003 (1987). Therefore, as the district court concluded, it was reasonable for the officers to impound the car to protect it from vandalism or theft.
