Custodial • Is the search of a person’s property
after he has been arrested and submitted for detention.
• This type of search is an administrative search done for the purpose of inventorying and securing the personal effects for safekeeping.

• US v. Edwards: The same reasoning applies to the custodial inventory of a vehicle when impounded by an officer.
