I retired 10 years ago, but in the 23 years I was in LE, a locked container was protected from search without a warrant. We could “inventory” the vehicle contents when it was impounded, but only things that were in plain sight. This ruling confounds all logic.

Right. This overturns Terry v US whether they realize it or not.
