Christopher Gerber, Esq., from Siana Law authored an alert on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that holds that police officers may conduct warrantless searches of motor vehicles only when they possess probable cause and under exigent circumstances.

The Court overruled a 2014 decision holding that probable cause alone was sufficient and that exigent circumstances were not necessary to search a vehicle without a warrant.
