Last
week the U.S. Supreme Court said police may no longer routinely
search the vehicles of recently arrested people. Senior Editor
Jacob Sullum argues that the ruling is a refreshing departure from
a long line of cases in which the Court has whittled away at the
Fourth Amendment to make the war on drugs easier to wage. He notes
that the decision received crucial support from two justices who
are often portrayed as hostile to civil liberties.
