Supreme Court expands police power on searches on buses
The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 that police may question passengers on buses and trains and search for evidence without informing them they can refuse. The decision upholds routine checks for drug couriers and terrorism probes on public transportation, citing consent as lawful. The ruling limits coercion concerns and contrasts bus searches with airline procedures.
