Most-quoted passages

e.g. 449 So. 2d 209 - Booker v. State · 845 So. 2d 676 - Venton v. Beckham
“The sheriff's impounding of the automobile was necessitated because it was used in the crime and provided one of the means by which appellants were apprehended and identified... . The test is whether the search was reasonable, and we hold that it was. Cooper v. California, 386 U.S. 58 , 87 S.Ct. 788 , 17 L.Ed.2d 730 (1967); Gordon v. State, 222 So.2d 141 (Miss. 1969); Wright v. State, 236 So.2d 408 (Miss. 1970). The search was not incident to the arrest, but the vehicle was properly held as evidence, since it was an implement or instrument by which the particular crime was committed. Fisher, Search and Seizure, 220-225 (1970).”
