cliff notes:
the police may arrest you for any offense, no matter how minor or if state law requires only a summons, and any evidence obtained from the ongoing illegal search does not need to be supressed.
The only protection the 4th Amendment now guarantees is that if you are comitting no crime, have not comitted a crime, nor are about to commit a crime, then any search of your person, car, or home will be considered illegal. Evidence resulting from said search will still not be supressed (in federal court) and your only redress will be to file civil rights violations against the offending police officers which will result in a dismissed suit because agents of the state have almost unlimited qualified immunity.
Remember, I predicted this and so did others.

Will, the USSC abandoned their responsibilities when FDR asked for 6 more justices. Since then it has been all downhill.
