Arya Stark was speeding when she was stopped by a Braavos Police vehicle. As the police officer approached the vehicle, she noticed that Arya was not wearing a seat belt. In response to the officer's question about the seatbelt, Arya admitted that she never wore one. Arya was arrested and searched. Braavos state law allowed the police officer to arrest for minor offenses such as speeding and not wearing a seat belt. The officer found a marijuana joint in Arya's pocket and charged her only with illegal possession of marijuana. Arya moved to suppress the marijuana because the arrest violated her Fourth Amendment rights. The trial court will likely:

Group of answer choices

A. Grant the motion to suppress because Arya was not charged with speeding, the underlying justification for the traffic stop

B. Grant the motion to suppress because Arya's Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable seizure was violated when she was arrested for the minor offense of speeding

C. Deny the motion to suppress because the search of Arya's person was incident to a lawful arrest.

D. Deny the motion to suppress only if the state files an additional offense charging Arya with speeding and failing to wear a seatbelt
