Florida v. Jimeno: Arguments

Argument #1

The Court should rule with Florida. The drugs found in Jimeno's car can be used as evidence in court against him. He gave permission to the police officer that allowed him to search his car. The drugs were found as a result of that search.


Argument #2

The Court should rule in Jimeno's favor. Jimeno gave the officer permission to search his car, not permission to search containers within the car. Therefore, what was found within containers should be inadmissible in court.
