ALITO, J., concurring 

in  the  meantime,  courts  may  be  required  to  grapple  with 
the basic Fourth Amendment question of reasonableness.

6.  The  three  categories  of  cases  discussed  above  are
simply  illustrative.    Searches  and  seizures  conducted  for 
other  non-law-enforcement  purposes  may  arise  and  may 
present their own Fourth Amendment issues.  Today’s de-
cision does not settle those questions.

In sum, the Court properly rejects the broad “community
caretaking” theory on which the decision below was based.
The  Court’s  decision  goes  no  further,  and  on  that  under-
standing, I join the opinion in full.
