P. v. Rodriguez
In his motion to suppress, appellant argued police officers, without a warrant or other lawful justification and without probable cause, entered an apartment where he was staying and arrested him. Therefore, he contended, the seizure and search of his wallet, which contained methamphetamine, were illegal and the methamphetamine subject to exclusion. Appellant argued that even assuming the officers' entry into the apartment was lawful, there was no constitutional justification for the seizure and search of his wallet as incident to his arrest, and on that basis alone the methamphetamine was excludible.
