Exercise 41

An informant told the police that a man, whom the informant described, was selling narcotics from the trunk of his car at a particular location. Police drove there, saw the car, and later stopped the car and arrested the driver who matched the informant's description. An officer opened the car's trunk, saw a brown bag, opened it, and found glassine bags of heroin. The car was then driven to police quarters, where another warrantless search of the trunk produced a leather pouch containing money. At trial, may the heroin and cash lawfully be introduced as evidence Explain. See United States v. Ross, 456 U.S. 798 (1982).
