Court of Appeals of Maryland June 4, 2007, 75, September Term, 2006 (Paulino v. State)

GREENE, J.

This case requires us to consider whether a search conducted incident to an arrest is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment in light of the manner and place in which the search was conducted at a time when there were no exigent circumstances justifying the immediate search. We conclude that, under the circumstances of this case, the search of petitioner was unreasonable.
