General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
James v. Louisiana, 382 U.S. 36 (1965)
James v. Louisiana No. 23, Misc. Decided October 18, 1965 382 U.S. 36
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI
TO THE SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
Syllabus
After petitioner’s arrest, he was driven by police to his home, more than two blocks away, where an intensive search without a warrant yielded the narcotics and equipment which were the basis for his conviction for possession of narcotics.
Held: The search was not incident to the arrest, which occurred more than two blocks away, and it was constitutional error to admit the fruits of the illegal search into evidence.
Certiorari granted; 246 La. 1033, 169 So.2d 89, reversed and remanded.
