   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-2879
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Council Bluffs   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Kelly and Stras, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. State trooper's discovery during a traffic 
   stop that defendant's license had been suspended justifiably extended the 
   lawful scope of the traffic stop because of defendant's legal inability to 
   move the vehicle and the need to obtain either a licensed driver or a tow 
   truck to do so; officers had probable cause to believe defendant's vehicle 
   contained evidence of drug trafficking; the automobile exception to the 
   warrant requirement permitted the officer to conduct a warrantless search 
   of the car following its removal from the busy highway where the stop was 
   conducted; defendant was not in custody during the traffic stop and his 
   statements, which were made without Miranda warnings, were admissible.
