Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Recent court decisions on search and seizure

Recently the Supreme Court ruled that a police officer can not search someone's vehicle just because that person is under arrest with some exceptions. Is there any recourse for someone who may have been charged with a crime due to such a search that is not covered by an exception? Will the person's record be expunged, or will nothing happen at all?
