Court of Appeals of Arkansas September 24, 1997, CA CR 96-1344 (Travis v. State)

lead-opinion

Wendell L. Griffen, Judge.

An individual operating or traveling in an automobile does not lose all reasonable expectation of privacy simply because the automobile and its use are subject to government regulation. Automobile travel is a basic, pervasive, and often necessary mode of transportation to and from one’s home, workplace, and leisure activities.
