Supreme Court requires warrant to open luggage after arrest
The court ruled 7 to 2 that law officers must obtain a warrant before opening chained luggage seized with an arrest. Burger led the majority rejecting auto exemption for footlockers, while Blackmun urged a clear rule allowing searches without a warrant in some arrest cases. The decision centers on a Boston case involving a double locked footlocker found to contain marijuana.
