Chimmel v. California (1969) determined that arresting officers may search the defendant and the physical area within easy reach of the defendant. Valid reasons for conducting a search are to protect the arresting officer, to prevent evidence from being destroyed, or to keep the defendant from escaping. A search becomes illegal when it goes beyond the defendant and the area within the defendant’s immediate control or when it is conducted for other than a valid reason.
