Assignment 7
The client was stopped for failing to maintain lane. The officer learned the client had a warrant and
arrested the client. The client’s car was searched, a gun was found, and the officer learned the client
was a felon. The cli-ent was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon. You are asked to search for
a published case (opin-
ion) in your state that addresses whether the officer’s search of the passenger
compartment of the client’s car exceeds the permissible scope of such searches. Your attorney refers
you to an annotated, unpublished case, United States v. Guerrero-Heredia, an unpublished case from
the United States District Court of Arizona. How can you use this unpublished case to locate a published
case that addresses the right of officers to search the client’s car incident to the arrest.
You may use unpublished cases, such as the Guerrero-Heredia case to do research and compare both
cases that state whether it is acceptable or not for the officers to search the client's car without
permission.
The client was a felon with a gun so there was a cause of arrest in both scenarios.
