United States Supreme CourtArizona v. Gant, 556 U.S. ___ (2009)
The U.S. Supreme Court limited the
circumstances under which officers may search the passenger
compartment of a vehicle after it’s driver had been arrested. The
Court ruled that an officer can only search a vehicle if it is for officer
safety or if there is reason to believe that
there is evidence in the car that relates to the
crime which the driver was arrested for.

Presented by : Attorney Marshall T. SegarAFSCME Public Safety CongressLas Vegas, NV November 2009
The holding of
Chimel v. California, 395 U. S. 752 (1969), continues to be good law, insofar as the search
incident to arrest can be justified by the suspect’s ability to lunge to an area and
destroy evidence or reach a weapon.

Presented by : Attorney Marshall T. SegarAFSCME Public Safety CongressLas Vegas, NV November 2009
The Fourth Amendment rule of New York v. Belton, 453 U.S. 454 (1981), which permits police officers to
make an immediate search of the passenger compartment of an automobile incident to the arrest of an occupant or "recent occupant," applies when officers do not initiate contact with the occupant until after he has voluntarily exited the vehicle and walked away
from it.
![Page 13: Gant Ppt](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/5463f64eb4af9f3a3f8b47a5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Presented by : Attorney Marshall T. SegarAFSCME Public Safety CongressLas Vegas, NV November 2009
The Fourth Amendment permits a properly limited protective sweep in conjunction with an in-home arrest
when the searching officer possesses a reasonable belief based on specific and articulable facts that the area to be swept harbors an individual posing a danger to those on
the arrest scene. In holding that, respectively, an on-the-street "frisk" and a
roadside search of an automobile's passenger compartment were reasonable despite the absence of a
warrant or probable cause.
Maryland v. Buie, 494 U.S. 325 (1990)

Presented by : Attorney Marshall T. SegarAFSCME Public Safety CongressLas Vegas, NV November 2009
In Thornton v. United States, 541 U. S. 615 (2004), the Court recognized that a search of a vehicle incident to the arrest of a recent
occupant may be also justified “when it is reasonable to believe evidence relevant to the crime of arrest might be found in the
vehicle.”

Presented by : Attorney Marshall T. SegarAFSCME Public Safety CongressLas Vegas, NV November 2009
One of the practical dangers of the decision in Arizona v. Gant that some officers may conclude that there
is a practical balancing act, or a tactical trade-off so to speak. An Officer may leave the suspect unsecured, un-handcuffed, and near the car, so that there remains the
possibility that that suspect would lunge toward a weapon and thus, create the legal justification for a search. The
legal justification may come at the cost of a significant risk to the officers’ safety.
