Demonstrate a critical thought process about below: The brilliant constitutional lawyer and historian Telford Taylor (1969) con- cluded from his research into the history of search and seizure 11 that search of an arrested person and premises without warrants or probable cause is as old as the institution of arrest itself" (28). Searches incident to arrest-searches of lawfully arrested suspects without probable cause or a warrant-are old. But are they rea- sonable Fourth Amendment searches? Definitely "yes" says SCOTUS, for three reasons: 1. They protect officers from suspects who might injure or kill them. 2. They prevent arrested suspects from escaping. 3. They preserve evidence that suspects might destroy or damage.
