"...LOCKED CONTAINERS - AN OVERVIEW: John P. Besselman Senior Legal Instructor Law enforcement students often ask the question “can I search a locked container?” A better question to ask may be “when can I search a locked container?” The fact that a container is locked may not increase the possessor owner’s expectation of privacy but does limit the law enforcement officer’s access to the secured area.

  There is law review paper[0] about this song. > And I know my rights, so you go’n need a warrant for that . . . If this Essay serves no other purpose, I hope it serves to debunk, for any readers who persist in believing it, the myth that locking your trunk will keep the cops from searching it.

But it’s completely, 100% wrong.
