PA - Supreme Court: PA cops no longer need a warrant to search citizens’ vehicles

"Pennsylvania police officers no longer need a warrant to search a citizen’s vehicle, according to a recent state Supreme Court opinion. The high court’s opinion, released Tuesday, is being called a drastic change in citizens’ rights and police powers. Previously, citizens could refuse an officer’s request to search a vehicle. In most cases, the officer would then need a warrant — signed by a judge — to conduct the search... Now, based on the opinion, it only takes reasonable probable cause for an officer to go ahead with a search without a warrant." - LancasterOnline.com
