   Arnold, Circuit Judge]
   Criminal case - criminal law. Impoundment of defendant's vehicle did
   not violate the Fourth Amendment because the police did have probable
   cause to seize the vehicle and an automobile may be seized without a
   warrant under the automobile exception to the warrant requirement; once
   the vehicle was impounded, the police were justified in searching the
   vehicle without a warrant under the police department's standard
   inventory policy.
