A search of the trunk turned up a small brown paper bag. Inside, the police found heroin-evidence instrumental in Ross's conviction. An appeals court reversed that conviction, and last July the Supreme Court arrived at the same conclusion in a similar case. The Justices had said then that police could not constitutionally undo the opaque plastic wrapped around two bricks of marijuana stashed in the trunk of a California...
