Chambers v. Maroney

Police stopped a car matching a reliable description connected to a gas-station robbery and arrested its four occupants, including Chambers (defendant), based on probable cause. Rather than searching the car on the roadside, police brought it to the station, where a search turned up guns, money, and evidence linking Chambers to both that robbery and an earlier one. Chambers was convicted using that evidence and, after his direct and state habeas efforts failed, pursued federal habeas relief, which the district court denied and the court of appeals affirmed.
