2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. People v. Marquez · People v. Kirk“, The Belton standard was developed in response to the need for a workable, straightforward rule that police could apply in searching an automobile passenger compartment after making a custodial arrest of an occupant or recent occupant of that automobile. In setting out the rule, the Court noted that the police were confused about what parts of the automobile were in the actual reach of an arrestee under the [former] standard. Belton cere-ated a "bright line rule" defining the passenger compartment of an automobile as being within the hypothetical immediate control of an occupant or recent occupant of the vehicle. The passenger compartment is within the Belton zone even where the arrestee is away from the vehicle and safely within police custody at the time of the search.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. People v. Graham“[W]e hold that when a policeman has made a lawful custodial arrest of the occupant of an automobile, he may, as a contemporaneous incident of that arrest, search the passenger compartment of that automobile. It follows from this conclusion that the police may also examine the contents of any containers found within the passenger compartment, for if the passenger compartment is within reach of the arrestee, so also will containers in it be within his reach.... Such a container may, of course, be searched whether it is open or closed, since the justification for the search is not that the arrestee has no privacy interest in the container, but that the lawful custodial arrest justifies the infringement of any privacy interest the arrestee may have.”
