Police Can Search Impounded Cars Without a Warrant. If the police have towed and impounded your car, they have the authority to search your vehicle. This inventory search can be as comprehensive as the police wish, and will most likely include opening any locked compartments or boxes found within your car.
Probable cause requires stronger evidence than reasonable suspicion. In order to obtain a search or arrest warrant, a law enforcement agent must prove probable cause to a judge or magistrate. If a search or arrest is made without a warrant, the officer must prove that there was probable cause. Any evidence obtained without probable cause may be suppressed in court. There are four categories into which evidence may fall in establishing probable cause. Observational evidence is based on what the officer sees, smells, or hears. If an officer observes a suspicious person looking into car windows and carrying a baseball bat late at night, it would fall into this category.
