U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-1707
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Benton and Stras, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. Police officers' decision to tow defendant's
disabled vehicle complied with the department's tow policy; because the
impoundment of the vehicle was valid and because the officer's sole
purpose for impounding the vehicle was not to investigate criminal
activity, the corresponding inventory search was reasonable and the
evidence seized admissible.
