Can police cross state lines to seize a veichle?

Seizure of a vehicle by a state or local police agency has to be authorized by a court in the state where the seizure is made. If the vehicle is evidence in a crime, it wouldn't be difficult or unusual to get such a court order. A police agency couldn't just cross a state line and take a vehicle to bring it back into their state without a court order. If the seizure is being made by a federal agency, no state court order is necessary.
