A roving United States border patrol, without warrant or PROBABLE CAUSE, stopped and searched an automobile for illegal aliens twenty-five miles from the Mexican border. The Court ruled that while routine searches of persons and vehicles at the border are permissible, this search was conducted too far from the border to be reasonable under the FOURTH AMENDMENT.
