(People v Howard, supra, at 592 [emphasis added].) With respect to the issue of whether the defendant in Howard (supra) abandoned the vanity case so as to waive his privacy interest in it, the Court found that the defendant’s act of throwing or dropping the vanity case was a "spontaneous reaction” to the necessity of evading pursuers and that therefore the search of the case was invalid (supra, at 593; see generally, People v Boodle, 47 NY2d 398 , cert denied 444 US 969 ).
