B) Chimel v. California.

The Search Incident to Arrest Exception This exception serves two governmental interests: (1) the need to ensure officer safety and disarm the suspect and (2) the need to prevent destruction of evidence.

A search incident to arrest may only be conducted when two (2) requirements have been met. First, there must have been a lawful custodial arrest. At a minimum, this requires that (1) probable cause exist to believe that the arrestee has committed a crime and (2) an arrest is actually made.

Probable Cause/Reasonable Cause = Arrest Deputies must be able to articulate specific facts showing: Unusual or suspicious activity related to a criminal act; The suspect being arrested is directly involved in that criminal act; and. There is sufficient probability the person being arrested has committed that crime.

The presentation of any of these facts would allow an officer to perform a search and make an arrest. Be aware that minor traffic violations (e.g. speeding, broken tail-light, or expired registration) are not considered probable cause.

This means they must have specific evidence or facts that point to your involvement in the alleged offense. For example: Drug Possession: If an officer sees a small bag of what appears to be illegal drugs in plain view inside your car, this observation can provide probable cause for an arrest.

For an arrest, probable cause means that officers must have enough evidence or information to reasonably believe that a person has committed a crime. This could stem from direct observation of the crime, such as witnessing a theft in progress, or from reliable information, like a credible eyewitness account.

Reasonable suspicion is a step before probable cause. At the point of reasonable suspicion, it appears that a crime might have been committed. The situation escalates to probable cause when it becomes clear that a crime has most likely been committed.

So the victim's statement is one piece of evidence that will be considered in determining whether there is enough evidence, or probable cause, for law enforcement to make an arrest of the offender. The victim's statement could be compelling enough for an arrest.

Examples of reasonable suspicion furtive action concealing suspected weapons or contraband; standing lookout for others preparing to commit a suspected crime; casing a retail shop or other potential crime location; standing watch for and observing potential crime victims;
