“"Common sense dictates, of course, that questions involving searches of motorcars or other things readily moved cannot be treated identical to questions arising out of searches of fixed structures like houses. For this reason, what may be an unreasonable search of a house may be reasonable in the case of a motorcar."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Hermandson“It was not enough that the search was made under color of the authority of a search warrant issued by a magistrate; to be a reasonable search the warrant must have been valid. The warrant was valid only if there was probable cause for its issuance appearing to the magistrate from the supporting affidavit.”

Hart“The protection afforded by the Constitutions of the United States and this state to persons and their effects is against unreasonable searches and seizures. ...
