# data[].attributes.body
Rodney Gant was apprehended by Arizona State police in Arizona for driving with a suspended license and after the arrest, they searched the car to find a handgun and cocaine. At the trial, Gant asked for the search to not count because it was done without a warrant and violated his 4th amendment right. The judge said that it didn't matter because the search was a direct result of his arrest. However, the Supreme Court took the case and ruled that because Gant left his vehicle voluntarily, the search was not linked to the arrest. This made the search unconstitutional on a 5-4 ruling in the Supreme Court. They searched his car because he had just been arrested and wanted to see if he was in possession of other dangerous substances but the search was after the arrest and he had no access to the car which means he could not use it or endanger the officers making the search illegal. The judges agreed that warrant less searches are very narrow and this case was not an exception to the 4th amendment.

The search and Seizure of Gant was illegal and his 4th Amendment Rights were violated as ruled by the Supreme Court. Originally, it was set so he could be convicted for cocaine possession but it was ruled that he was far away and already gave himself up, so his 4th Amendment rights were violated by the cops searching his car after. Justice was served because his rights were violated by this search conducted after he was already arrested and was not close to his car at all. The search was not linked to the arrest which meant that it violated Gant's rights and allowed him to not get charged with what was found. This is very important because it set a standard for America about how cops should search the car while the criminal had not already been arressted and this set a new precedent for search and seizure law
