Preferred term

automobile exception  

Definition(s)

  • The automobile exception refers to the reduced degree of privacy protection from intrusive searches and seizures that automobiles are accorded, in comparison with private homes, under the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement. The exception is based on the fact that the interior of an automobile is reasonably observable from the outside, negating an important privacy expectation.
