The following excerpt is from People v. Reyes, 154 Misc.2d 476, 596 N.Y.S.2d 304 (N.Y. City Ct. 1993):
As in People v. Ingle, 36 N.Y.2d 413, 369 N.Y.S.2d 67, 330 N.E.2d 39, in this case the first two [154 Misc.2d 480] prongs are clearly met. The government's interest in highway safety is substantial and the defendant has a diminished expectation of privacy in his vehicle. However, it is just as clear that the regulations "leave police discretion wholly untrammeled." 36 N.Y.2d at 420, 369 N.Y.S.2d 67, 330 N.E.2d 39.
