1976But insofar as Fourth Amendment protection extends to a motor vehicle, it is the right to privacy that is the touchstone of our inquiry.” 94 S.Ct. 2464, at 2470 .

1976After noting that nothing from the interior of the car had been searched or seized and introduced into evidence, the Court continued as follows: “With the ‘search’ limited to the examination of the tire on the wheel and the taking of paint scrapings from the exteri- or of the vehicle left in the public parking lot, we fail to comprehend what expectation of privacy was infringed.” “Under circumstances such as these, where probable cause exists, a warrant-less examination of the exterior of a car is not unreasonable under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments.” 94 S.Ct. 2464, at 2470 .
