Supreme Court rules luggage squeezes need consent or warrant
The Supreme Court held that police must obtain traveler's consent or a court warrant before physically squeezing luggage for drugs, ruling such inspection violates the Fourth Amendment. Chief Justice Rehnquist stated a bag search is more intrusive than visual checks and a bus passenger does not expect others to feel the bag. The decision overturns convictions of Steven Dewayne Bond from a Greyhound stop at an immigration checkpoint in Sierra.
