Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The automobile exception to the Fourth Amendment's search warrant requirement allows police to search a vehicle without a warrant if they have probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime is contained within it. This standard is lower than "beyond a reasonable doubt" and higher than "reasonable suspicion" and "preponderance of the evidence."
