Q: If there is a search warrant For a stolen vehicle But the passenger has a backpack with a lock on it
And admits that the backpack is their’s but had no idea the vehicle was stolen can they search the backpack with the same warrant as the vehicle or do they need a whole Nother warrant for the backpack even though the passenger was willing to open it so they can take it with them but the officers want it let them take it
A:
A Colorado attorney could advise best here, but your post remains open for four weeks. Your question was probably overlooked in the Products Liability category, which is more about injuries from dangerous or defective products. Your question looks like it's more along the lines of Fourth Amendment issues - you could try reposting under the Criminal Law category. Good luck
