Arizona v. Gant
Opinion of the court

Justice Scalia wrote a concurring opinion, stating that "we should simply abandon the Belton- Thornton charade of officer safety and overrule those cases. I would hold that a vehicle search incident to arrest is ipso facto 'reasonable' only when the object of the search is evidence of the crime for which the arrest was made, or of another crime that the officer has probable cause to believe occurred."
