Clearly, the driver refused consent to search the GMC. That suggests that seizing the GMC and securing a warrant would not have been a greater intrusion into the privacy interests of the occupants. The GMC could easily have been impounded, given that the police station was minutes away from the stop. And under the facts of this case, a warrant would have been issued following review of a search warrant application.<\/p><p>We emphasize, however, that the question of whether the circumstances giving rise to probable cause were unforeseeable and spontaneous is a fact-sensitive inquiry that should be analyzed case by case, as we have done in this appeal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Analysis of \u201cunforeseeable and spontaneous\u201d probable cause for application of the automobile exception in New Jersey is case-by-case.
