What is the test for determining whether a search conducted by Border Patrol officers was "reasonable" under the Fourth Amendment?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Rodriguez-Lopez, 441 F.2d 731 (9th Cir. 1971):

It is undisputed that this was a border search and hence "reasonable" within the purview of the Fourth Amendment. Alexander v. United States, 362 F.2d 379 (9th Cir. 1966), cert. denied, 385 U.S. 977, 87 S.Ct. 519, 17 L.Ed.2d 439. Given that predicate, the conclusion is inescapable that appellant's complaint does not rise to one of constitutional dimension.

Judgment affirmed.
