Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
BOOCHEVER, Circuit Judge.
Munoz appeals from his conviction for possessing and transporting a golden eagle in violation of 16 U.S.C. § 668(a) (1976). 1 He argues that the evidence should have been suppressed because it was found during a roving vehicle stop that was not supported by a founded suspicion. At issue is whether the practice of stopping all vehicles in National Parks during a roving patrol to check wood permits and ask about park use and game violations is permissible under the Fourth Amendment. We conclude that the stop violated Fourth Amendment rights and reverse.
