Police officers follow certain procedures when placing a person under arrest and transporting that person in a patrol car.
Officer DeVero watched Joe Jackson buy a small vial of cocaine from a dealer on 9th Street and arrested him for possession of a controlled substance. She placed handcuffs on Jackson, searched him for weapons and contraband, and then placed him in the back seat of her patrol car after checking the seat and floorboard area. She placed a seatbelt around the prisoner and drove toward the jail. On the way, she saw a woman roll through a stop sign and pulled her over. She issued the woman a citation and drove on to the jail where she helped the prisoner out of the back seat and checked the area where he had been seated for weapons or contraband.

IV. proper, because she was able to efficiently handle two situations: the arrest and the traffic violation
