2016Vehicle inventory searches are a well-defined exception to the Fourth Amendment warrant requirement. ( Colorado v. Bertine (1987) 479 U.S. 367 , 371, 107 S.Ct. 738 , 93 L.Ed.2d 739 .)

In addition, while Justice Sotomayor’s opinion for the five justice McNeely majority rejects the idea of per se exigency, she failed to garner a fifth vote for section III of the opinion discussing an issue relevant to this case—the power of the states to use implied consent laws to enforce their DUI laws consonant with the Fourth Amendment.

2019In the initial opinion from this court, the majority upheld the entry into the garage in question under what the lead opinion in People v. Ray (1999) 21 Cal.4th 464 considered a “community caretaking” exception to the Fourth Amendment warrant requirement for the uninvited entry into one’s home.

2005Thus, there was only one search on Sunday morning, not two, and, in his suppression motion, defendant did not argue otherwise. 24 The Attorney General argues the first search was also justified by the community caretaker exception to the Fourth Amendment warrant requirement (see People v. Ray (1999) 21 Cal.4th 464 [ 88 Cal.Rptr.2d 1 , 981 P.2d 928 ]), but, as we conclude the exigent circumstances doctrine applies, we need not reach this issue. 25 Additionally, no evidence was collected during this search.
