PC 12026.1(c) defines a locked container as
PC 626.9 states that"locked container" means a secure container which is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, key lock, combination lock, or similar locking device
Now the question I pose to the forum is, is the locked passenger area of a car a locked container? It is fully enclosed area (a strange "container," but certainly secure) locked by a key lock. So is a locked passenger area a locked container providing that the windows are up and the only valid ways of entry are either illegal or with the car key? I can't see why it isn't."Locked container" has the same meaning as that term is given in subdivision (c) of Section 12026.1.
