- lawful search incident to arrest of folder carried by defendant at time of arrest
- “We do not believe that people have the same expectations of privacy in their driveways as in' their homes. In the course of everyday life we expect members of the public — salesmen, children, or even strangers looking for an address — to enter upon a driveway.”
