About this video
An arrest for a traffic ticket is legal in Texas. What the officer can search afterward is more limited than most people — and many officers — assume. Brian Foley explains Arizona v. Gant: once you are secured in the patrol car, the officer may search your vehicle incident to the arrest only if it is reasonable to believe evidence of the offense of arrest is inside — and there is no evidence of speeding in a glove box.
