Whether the lower court erred in its interpretation of search and seizure laws. 2. Whether the evidence gathered during Vang's arrest should be admissible in court. **Court's Analysis:** The Supreme Court examined the procedures that led to Vang's arrest and the evidence presented. The court considered precedents regarding the legality of search and seizure and the protections guaranteed under the Fourth Amendment. Key factors included the knowledge and actions of law enforcement before and during the arrest. **Holding:** The court ruled in favor of the State of Nevada, determining that the arrest and subsequent search were conducted in compliance with the law. The evidence obtained was deemed admissible, affirming the lower court's ruling. **Conclusion:** The Supreme Court of Nevada upheld the decision of the lower court, affirming the legality of Vang's arrest and the admissibility of the evidence presented against him. This case reaffirmed the standards of law enforcement procedures regarding search and seizure in Nevada. **Implications:** This decision serves as a reference for future cases involving the legality of arrests and the admissibility of evidence, emphasizing the necessity for law enforcement to adhere strictly to constitutional protections to prevent unlawful searches and seizures.
