The Arizona v. Gant case is very interesting. Gant also had a gun in the car. I’m assuming Gant didn’t consent to the search, even though I don’t see any of that mentioned in the case. Normally, police officers ask if they can search your car. I’m a bit confused though. I thought the police can conduct an inventory of your car when they tow your vehicle? Gant was initially pulled over because of suspended license right? Every so often police officer’s can tow the person’s car if they are driving with a suspended license, according to some states (Rogers, 2015). As mentioned by PBS 2011, in California, they can tow your vehicle if you are driving with a suspended license. However, a new law will be in effect next year where people with suspended …show more content…

I decided to ask for directions and pulled over to a man standing on the sidewalk. I pulled down my window and asked him for directions. He looked at me like I was crazy and didn’t even answer me. A few seconds later, he told me to leave by gesturing with his hands. I was really confused. As I drove away, I noticed a police car was riding behind me. Literally seconds later the lights went on. The officer was extremely aggressive in his tone and was asking why I was around here, and if I had drugs and weapons in my car. I didn’t do anything illegal and I didn’t even commit a traffic violation. According to the officer, I was looking suspicious pulling over in the area where break-ins have been occurred lately. He kept asking if he could search my car, but I said no because it would have been a total waste of time. They were killing a lot of time though. I thought they were trying to get a warrant, but eventually they let me go. I made the wrong turn and asked the wrong guy for directions. It is a little scary at first because the officer was emphasizing “explosives”. It got me really me extremely nervous, but I was

“A stop involves only a temporary interference with a person’s liberty” ("Stop and Frisk," n.d.). If the officer finds anything on the person during the frisk, then they officer can make an arrest, otherwise, the person is released ("Stop and Frisk," n.d.). The New York “stop and frisk” law says “police officer may stop any person... in a public place whom he reasonably suspects are committing crimes and may demand… his name, address and an explanation of his actions," and when the officer "suspects that he is in danger…he may search such person for a dangerous weapon" ("Stop and Frisk," n.d.).

Within this court case, it was determined that that searches and seizures require a warrant unless it is to prevent a future crime from happening. The court also referenced Arizona v. Gant, which focused on whether or not officers may search property found on or near the arrestee and also discussed elements of Chimel v. California, which stated that it is reasonable for an officer to search a person and that it is reasonable for an officer to search and seize any evidence from an arrestee if it is to protect it from being destroyed. The Supreme Court also cited United States v. Robinson, which also cited that a search led to

Gant is the third and final tremendously important case that had historical development into the case law applicable to Riley v. California. In the case of Arizona v. Gant, a vehicle search was the immediate concern, and whether or not the passenger compartment could lawfully be searched without a warrant. In this case, the court noted that this was different than the Chimel case because in that case, it dealt with an arrested person and an unsecured area that was within their reach, that area could be searched to protect the officer. Therefore, this case is different, due to the fact that the passenger compartment was secured. However, the court determined that this is an exception, and it was allowable to search the passenger compartment without a warrant only when there is a reasonable thought there is going to be evidence in the compartment that is pertinent to the arrest.

NYPD has engaged in a practice known as “Stop and Frisk”. This policy allows officers, based on reasonable suspicion that criminal activity is afoot, to engage in investigatory stops and to conduct a pat down of the outer clothing of the individual if there is reasonable suspicion that the suspect is armed” (Simmons, 2014). A stop can take place with an individual that an officer considers reasonable to search based upon speculation of an encounter. For example an officer pulls over a young black man and request for his driver license and registration. The young man complies but the officer begins to speculate and assume he is carrying either illegal drugs or a concealed weapon.
