Brian Goldstone’s new book downplays the role of personal choices.

Officers arrest driver; they think he has a gun in the car, but lack PC. Search it anyway, finding gun. Govt argues this was a protective sweep to prevent girlfriend from accessing weapon. CA5 reluctantly suppresses; this doesn't fit protective sweep.
