Vehicle Search Legal Guidelines

Summary

In Oklahoma, vehicle searches must be based on probable cause, and the search scope should be limited to the reason for the traffic stop unless further evidence is found. As an authorized driver, you need to establish your standing to contest the search. Key cases include State v. Brown (2013) on probable cause and search scope, and State v. Cardenas (2015) on consent issues. Consider consulting a local attorney for detailed guidance.
