YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS ON PATROL.

IN THE VICTINITY OF LENOX AVENUE AND 118TH STREET,

HE OBSERVED A DOUBLE-PARKED CAR WITH SOMEONE INSIDE.

HE MADE A U-TURN AND CAME BACK TO THE CAR. THE

OFFICER  NOTICED THE WINDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS

BROKEN. HE ASKED THE MAN IF HE HAD A PROBLEM.

THE  MAN ANSWERED THAT HE DID NOT AND, IN FACT, THAT

HE WAS NOT THE OWNER OF THE CAR. HE WAS SIMPLY

SAFEGUARDING THE CAR AND OTHER PROPERTY.THE MAN

STATED THAT IT WAS IN HIS CAR DOWN THE STREET. THE

OFFICER REQUESTED THAT THE MAN ALLOW HIM TO INSPECT

THE PROPERTY. THE MAN GAVE HIS KEYS TO THE OFFICER.

UPON OPENING THE DOOR OF THE CAR, THE OFFICER SAW AN

AUTOMATIC WEAPONS PROTRUDING FROM UNDER THE FRONT

SEAT. SINCE THE POSSESSION OF AUTOMATIC WEAPONS BY

NON-LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL IS ILLEGAL, THE MAN

WAS ARRESTED. HIS LAWYER ARGUED THAT THE CHARGES

SHOULD BE DROPPED BECAUSE IT WAS BASED ON EVIDENCE

FROM AN ILLEGAL SEARCH. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
