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.
Bowen v. United States, 422 U.S. 916 (1975)
Bowen v. United States No. 73-648 Argued February 18, 1975 Decided June 30, 1975 422 U.S. 916
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
The principles of Almeida-Sanchez v. United States, 413 U.S. 266, that the Fourth Amendment prohibits the Border Patrol from using roving patrols to search vehicles, without a warrant or probable cause, at points removed from the border and its functional equivalents, will not be applied retroactively to invalidate searches that occurred prior to the date of that decision. United States v. Peltier, ante, p. 531. As the Court of Appeals in this case correctly decided that Almeida-Sanchez did not apply retroactively, petitioner is not entitled to the benefit of that court’s further but unnecessary ruling that Almeida-Sanchez extended to searches at traffic checkpoints. Pp. 918-921.
500 F.2d 960, affirmed.
POWELL, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BURGER, C.J., and WHITE, BLACKMUN, and REHNQUIST, JJ., joined. DOUGLAS, J., post, p. 921, and BRENNAN and MARSHALL, JJ., post, p. 921, filed dissenting statements. STEWART, J., dissented.
