An officer pulled the defendant over to execute an arrest warrant for unpaid tickets. After arresting the defendant, the defendant's car was towed to the police station and the police searched it based on a department policy. The search yielded a massive amount of narcotics for which the defendant was subsequently charged with. How would a judge likely rule if the defendant moved to suppress the evidence?
a.
The evidence would be admissible based on the automobile exception.
b.
The evidence would be admissible if the police performed a valid inventory search.
c.
The evidence would not be admissible because the officers did not have probable cause that there was incriminating evidence in the car.
d.
The evidence would not be admissible because the officers did not possess a search warrant.
