What will be an ideal response?
The most basic requirement concerning searches incident to arrest—and one that is often
overlooked—is that the arrest itself must be lawful. Timing of a search incident to arrest is also important. In particular, probable cause to arrest must precede the warrantless search (Sibron v. New York, 392 U.S. 40 [1968]). A search incident to arrest is also limited scope, or the area that may be searched. The case of United States v. Rabinowitz, 339 U.S. 56 (1950), was the first to set limits on the scope of a search incident to arrest. Officers armed with a valid arrest warrant arrested a man and then conducted a warrantless search of his one-room business, including the desk, safe, and file cabinets.
