Everything about Carroll V United States totally explained
Carroll v. U.S., 267 U.S. 132 (1925) became the case that police searches of automobiles without a warrant don't violate the
Fourth Amendment to the
United States Constitution when the
police have
probable cause to believe
contraband would be found in the
automobile. The rationale of the decision was that automobiles are mobile and thus law enforcement would be unreasonably hindered if forced to seek a
search warrant for a place that would perhaps be elsewhere and hidden by the time the warrant was signed.
This decision, rendered in the early days of personal automobiling, marked the start of the legal gulf between reasonable expectations of privacy in one's home and automobile.
The opinion was delivered on
March 2,
1925, by Chief Justice
William Howard Taft.
