The online equivalent of the National Law Journal has an interesting article today about the continuing erosion of rights as they relate to one's car. Specifically, the article discusses a case handed down by the Supreme Court last week, Thornton v. US, in which the Court extended the "search incident to an arrest" doctrine to include instances where the subject isn't even in the car when police approach. The Court got it wrong (as did the Fourth Circuit before them). The article rightly asks whether we now have any real expectation of privacy in our cars at all.
