Facts
Police conducted a search of Krull’s (defendant) business pursuant to a state statute that allowed law enforcement to search licensed car and car parts sellers without a warrant. The statute was found later to be unconstitutional. The trial court admitted the evidence obtained pursuant to the search. Krull appealed and the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari.
