Briscoe, decided in 2017, provides an example of a federal trial court drawing the line differently when considering the applicability of the automobile exception to the warrant requirement to an RV.147 Even through the RV was operable, the court focused on the specific facts of the case in reaching their decision that the automobile exception to the warrant requirement did not apply.148 The court emphasized that the RV was not a typical vehicle because it had sleeping quarters, the defendants were not at the wheel during the search, and the officers knew the defendants were living in the RV.149 This court’s decision shows that RVs can be granted Fourth Amendment protections without overruling precedent. Relying on the facts surrounding each vehicle would allow courts to identify vehicles “worthy” of Fourth Amendment protection simply by drawing the line differently.150	cache/inlawrev-27245.pdf	txt/inlawrev-27245.txt
