    maintaining its lane of travel. You conduct an enforcement stop and observe a solo driver in the vehicle. You conduct your investigation and determine the driver to be under the influence of alcohol. While investigating, you observe a purse in the front seat. The driver asks if they can bring their wallet from within the purse when you transport them to the booking facility and asks to leave the purse. You suspect no other criminal activity and decide to honor the request. The wallet is booked with the driver however, you decide the purse should be brought back to the office with you for booking. Upon arriving at the office you search the purse’s compartments and find contraband in the form of multiple small baggies of a white crystalline substance.
    Is the search of the purse, incident to arrest, valid and lawful?

a) Yes. You arrested the driver and despite the delay in searching the purse, it is still a search incident to arrest.

therefore not a search incident to arrest.
