IL: PC for open container in car permitted search of locked glove compartment

Probable cause that a vehicle had open containers in it permitted a search of the locked glove compartment because it was a place where an open container could be. People v. McGhee, 2020 IL App (3d) 180349, 2020 Ill. App. LEXIS 818 (Dec. 3, 2020).

There was justification for defendant’s stop because his headlight was out. The stop being justified, the ultimate search warrant was valid. People v. Garcia, 2020 NY Slip Op 07220, 2020 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 7356 (2d Dept. Dec. 2, 2020).*

The information about defendant’s alleged drug operation was ongoing, so the search warrant wasn’t stale. United States v. Bell, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 226669 (W.D. Ky. Oct. 27, 2020).*
