Federal prohibition agents may stop vehicles and search for contraband liquor without warrants, the Supreme Court ruled in a Michigan case by George Carroll and John Kiro, while Georgia’s case by Sig Samuels affirmed that states may ban possession of legally obtained liquor before the federal act. Chief Justice Taft noted the need to balance highway safety with individual rights, distinguishing searches of dwellings from those of automobiles, and stressing unlawful searches remain barred.
