2015“When lines need to be drawn in creating rules, they should be drawn thoughtfully along the logical contours of the rationales giving rise to the rules, and not as artificial lines drawn elsewhere that are unrelated to those rationales.” Rowell, 188 P.3d at 101 ; see also Valdez, 224 P.3d at 758 (reminding readers of “the danger of wandering from the narrow principled justifications of the [SITA] exception, even if such wandering is done an inch at a time”). 21 Ostensibly, Gant is a limitation on Belton.
