- warrantless search of checked luggage impermissible, where police have effective control over the movement of that luggage
- \a contemporaneous search of containers in the vehicle which could reasonably be employed in the illicit carriage of contraband is also constitutionally permissible.\
- “[T]he discovery of marijuana in the trunk of the car certainly provided probable cause for the arrest.”
- tipster's corroborated description of mode of operation to include rental of two cars, one for local and one for interstate use, \evinced a knowledge of the inner workings of the appellants' system\
