Does this not seem to negate the theory that police will not be able to arrest people for minor traffic offenses? While the full details are not known, would Virginia v. Moore thus allow the arresting officer to search the vehicle of the arrested individual? Depending on how this plays out it would seem that if an officer wanted consent and you didn't give it during a traffic stop then they could merely arrest you and then search your vehicle anyway.
