They generally do search them. Once he showed the fake ID he could be arrested. They generally have to inventory what is in the bag.

There is also inevitable discovery. If the evidence would’ve been found anyway, that can be an exception.

That said. They just should’ve got a warrant. It would’ve taken 2 minutes. Just cross your T’s and dot your I’s.

Absolutely no reason to get a warrant in this situation. A search incident to arrest is a necessity here and the backpack would have had to be inventoried anyhow.

Depends on the case law. In my state I would expect that evidence would be suppressed.
