Practice question: Search of a Moving Vehicle

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A court invalidates an intrusive vehicle search based solely on an unverified tip. The prosecution says this means all moving-vehicle searches are now forbidden. Which is best?
  1. Every warrantless vehicle search is automatically void
  2. The holding rejects the unsupported search, not every properly justified vehicle search
  3. Every unverified tip is automatically sufficient
  4. Probable cause is irrelevant to extensive searches
  5. A valid exception never requires factual examination
