1. “Searches and seizures made without benefit of a search warrant are per se unreasonable and contrary to the Fourth Amendment. If the search and seizure was conducted without a warrant and no exceptions apply, the evidence will not be used against the defendant. One among a number of exceptions to the warrantless search rule is critical here. Where probable cause exists and there are exigent circumstances, the officer may properly execute a warrantless search and seizure. That rule commonly takes the form of the automobile exception to the warrantless search rule. See Carroll v. United States, 267 U.S. 132 , 45 S.Ct. 280 , 69 L.Ed. 543 (1925). Where vehicles are involved in. a police investigation, the police may conduct a warrant-less search of the vehicle if there is probable cause to believe the vehicle contains evidence of a crime and if the police face the exigency that the vehicle may disappear by the time a warrant is obtained.”
