Question:

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 client was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon. You are asked to search for a published case (opinion) 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 Your attorney refers you to an annotated, unpublished case,
United States v. Guerrero-Heredia, an unpublished case from the United States District Court of Arizona. How can you use this unpublished case to locate a published case that addresses the right of officers to search the client’s car incident to the arrest.
