General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Texas v. White, 423 U.S. 67 (1975)
Texas v. White No. 75-124 Decided December 1, 1975 423 U.S. 67
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE
COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS
Syllabus
Where police officers had probable cause to search respondent’s automobile at the scene immediately after arresting him for attempting to pass fraudulent checks at a bank drive-in window, such probable cause still obtained shortly thereafter at the station house to which the automobile had been taken so that the officers could constitutionally search the automobile there without a warrant, Chambers v. Maroney, 399 U.S. 42; hence, incriminating checks seized during the search were admissible in evidence at respondent’s trial.
Certiorari granted; 521 S.W.2d 255, reversed and remanded.
