For 30 years, lawyers and police officers operated under the bright line rule of New York v.
Belton. Vehicle searches incident to the arrest of a vehicle occupant were routine. In 2009, everything about post-arrest vehicle searches changed. Arizona v. Gant was a landmark decision that reveals much about the attitude of the United States Supreme Court toward Fourth Amendment protections, exigent circumstances and vehicle searches in particular. Nearly four years later, courts are still working to integrate this dynamic Fourth Amendment decision into the myriad of cases to which its principles apply. In order to be effective, and avoid Fourth Amendment pitfalls, every law enforcement officer, prosecutor and defense attorney must be familiar with this decision and its progeny. This fast-moving on-demand webinar, presented by Supreme Court practitioner and Gant defense counsel Thomas F. Jacobs, will provide everything you need to know about the latest shift in Fourth Amendment doctrine, and how to apply it in practice, both in the field and in the courtroom.
