The courts in the US have been pretty specific about car vs home. They don’t seem to treat them as the same.



Ironically, there have been SCOTUS rulings that state that your vehicle is an extension of your home.

This reminds me of one of my favorite court cases, a rare application of the 3rd amendment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engblom_v._Carey

A prison tried to break a strike of workers who lived in prison dorms by replacing them with members of the National Guard, until a court ruled that this constituted illegally quartering soldiers in their homes.


Too bad for the unhoused I guess?


I don’t know. I do know the courts treat homes and cars differently.
