   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-1169
   Northern District of Iowa   
Criminal case - criminal law. State trooper conducting a North American Standard Level III inspection of defendant's truck exceeded the scope of the regulatory search when he searched defendant's briefcase; while the trooper may have had been justified in believing defendant's paperwork was not in order, he did not have a reasonable basis for searching defendant's personal belongings; dissent by Judge Murphy.
