Rule
The search-incident-to-arrest exception does not apply when a citation is issued instead of an arrest; no full search of the vehicle is permitted on a citation alone.
Significance
Limited the search-incident-to-arrest exception to actual arrests; a traffic citation does not justify a full vehicle search.
