Best Answer

In the USA a law officer can make an arrest without a warrant in certain circumstances. Probably the most common is an arrest for drunken driving. Based on the observation of an automobile driving recklessly, a policeman can stop the vehicle and if the officer smells alcohol on the driver, he or she may ask the driver to step out of the car and:

1. Ask the driver to take a portable breath testing analyzer;

2. Ask the driver to walk a straight line.

If the breath test device is unavailable and/or the driver refuses to take it and/or refuses to walk a straight line. The officer can read the driver his or her rights and make an arrest.

The scope of a valid warrantless vehicle search is limitless?

The scope of a valid warrantless vehicle search is not limitless. It is generally limited to areas within the immediate control or reach of the driver, where there is a reasonable belief that evidence of a crime may be found. Searches that go beyond these limitations may be considered unreasonable and violate the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
