New Supreme Court Case-Criminal Law

April 28th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Arizona v. Gant, decided by the United States Supreme Court on April 21, 2009.

Held: Police may search the passenger compartment of a vehicle incident to a recent occupant’s arrest only if it is reasonable to believe that the arrestee might access the vehicle at the time of the search or that the vehicle contains evidence of the offense of arrest.

This is an important case, imo.
