Why? A rifle case is not, nor should ever be, probable cause for search. Especially since his vehicle had TX plates (according to the article). The most reasonable assumption would have been a traveling exemption. If the officers felt a search was justified, then they should have waited on a warrant as there was little to no chance of evidence disappearing.philip964 wrote:If the rifle case was visible through a window, I feel the search was justified.
