Warrantless Searches in Light of Chimel: A Return to the Original Understanding

Abstract

The fourth amendment was intended to curb a long history of abuse in discretionary intrusions into individual privacy by government officials. Chimel v. California repudiates the recent trend which had allowed extensive searches incident to an arrest. In thus returning to the original meaning of the fourth amendment, Chimel should have a broad impact on the entire range of warrantless searches and seizures.
