Because the firearm was seized from the car, it did not violate the Fourth Amendment to not list it on the inventory form. United States v. Peterson, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 42174 (N.D. Tex. April 19, 2011).*<\/p>\n

There was a consent form signed in this case, but there is enough factual dispute to require a hearing. United States v. Younis, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 42281 (S.D. N.Y. April 19, 2011).*<\/p>\n

LEXIS 142717 (N.D. Ga. November 22, 2010).*<\/p>\n
