Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the Fourth Amendment, an officer can search the suspect's person and the surrounding grabbable area incident to an arrest. This means that the officer can search areas within the suspect's immediate reach, such as the interior of a car if the suspect was sitting in it at the time of arrest. However, the officer cannot search areas outside of the suspect's immediate control or areas that are not directly related to the arrest. Searching areas the suspect had frequented within the past 12 hours is not legal without a warrant or probable cause. Similarly, searching a surrounding vehicle without a warrant or probable cause is also not legal.
