Practice question
A taxi is hired exclusively by a family for the trip and cannot pick up others until they alight. Officers rely solely on Saluday’s routine public-bus guidelines for an intrusive search. Is that reliance sufficient?
- No; the opinion expressly excludes that taxi arrangement from those guidelines
- Yes; every commercial vehicle is an open public bus
- Yes; paying a fare waives every search objection
- Yes; exclusivity always reduces protection to nothing
- Yes; the checkpoint label supplies every exception
