Supreme Court broadens police search powers after lawful arrests
The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 that police may perform full searches of anyone lawfully arrested, even for minor offenses such as traffic violations. Justice Rehnquist wrote the opinion, joined by Burger Blackmun Powell Stewart and White, with Douglas Brennan and Marshall dissenting. The decision overturns a lower court’s limit to a pat down and follows recent rulings favoring law enforcement.
