Jones, 215 Ill. 2d 261, 271 (2005)). ¶ 31 Police officers have probable cause to search a vehicle where the totality of the circumstances known at the time of the search, in view of their experience, would cause a reasonably prudent person to believe a crime occurred and that evidence of the crime is contained in the vehicle. 2021“Stopping an automobile for a minor traffic violation does not justify a search of a detainee’s person or vehicle; instead, the officer must reasonably believe he is confronting a situation more serious than a routine traffic violation.” Id. | 1 | 2 |
