Blue to Gold
Summary: Jason seeks clarification on whether he would need a search warrant to search the back of an 18-wheeler truck if he finds paraphernalia during a traffic stop. Anthony explains that a search warrant is not necessary if there is probable cause to search the vehicle. However, he cautions that convincing a judge to grant a warrant based solely on finding paraphernalia may be challenging. The conversation then shifts to discussing the factors that could justify a search of the truck's cab. Anthony suggests that a meth pipe found in the cab, along with other abnormal behavior and observations, could provide probable cause for a search. Mike adds that finding a significant amount of money in the cab could further strengthen the case for a search. Key Takeaways: A search warrant is not required to search the back of an 18-wheeler truck if there is probable cause. Finding a meth pipe in the truck's cab, along with other abnormal behavior and observations, can provide probable cause for a search. Discovering a significant amount of money in the cab can further support the case for a search. Quotes: "I think the meth pipe does get you generally a search of the cab." - Anthony "Finding a significant amount of money in the cab...now we're talking." - Mike Join the next Search & Seizure show and get your questions answered LIVE ON AIR.

Ep #453 Can You Search an 18-Wheeler Without a Warrant?
Summary: Anthony discusses a recent incident where a neighboring town had a stabbing, and the suspect fled to his town. The chief decided to approach the suspect's girlfriend's house to obtain consent to enter and secure the premises while waiting for a warrant. Anthony raises concerns about whether the show of force by the officers could be seen as coerced consent. The severity of the crime is discussed, and the importance of the totality of circumstances is emphasized. The presence of multiple officers and firearms is considered, along with the potential loss of evidence if the suspect is not apprehended immediately. The need for clear communication about consent and a contingency plan if consent is denied is highlighted. The case of Minnesota versus Olson is referenced as a relevant legal precedent. Key Takeaways: Fresh pursuit is time-sensitive, and after six hours, it becomes less applicable. The severity of the crime influences the reasonableness of police actions. The presence of multiple officers and firearms does not automatically invalidate consent. Clear communication about consent and a contingency plan are essential. The case of Minnesota versus Olson is relevant to the situation. Quotes: "Fresh pursuit is a little more that concept that we're on their trail, we're getting pieces of information, we're working towards furthering the investigation." "The severity of the crime influences the reasonableness of reactions." "The courts understand that you're going to have a lot of presence when dealing with serious felonies." "If they say no, are we kicking that door?" "Minnesota versus Olson is your most applicable case." Join the next Search & Seizure show and get your questions answered LIVE ON AIR.

Ep #452 The Importance of Exigency: When Can Police Barge In?
Case mentioned: 📌 Florida v. Royer, 460 U.S. 491 (1983) Summary: Anthony and Mike discuss the issue of locked containers in inventory searches for vehicles. Mike's agency recently implemented an inventory policy and he is unsure how to handle locked containers. Anthony explains that according to Supreme Court rulings, inventory searches must be conducted in good faith and in accordance with department policies. He suggests that Mike's agency should have a policy in place regarding locked containers and recommends not breaking open locked containers unless there is reasonable suspicion of dangerous or high-value items inside. Anthony also mentions the option of obtaining a waiver from vehicle owners who do not want their cars inventoried. Key Takeaways: 🔘 Inventory searches for vehicles must be conducted in good faith and in accordance with department policies. 🔘 Supreme Court rulings indicate that locked containers can be opened during inventory searches if the department policy allows it. 🔘 Breaking open locked containers should be avoided unless there is reasonable suspicion of dangerous or high-value items inside. 🔘 Some agencies offer vehicle owners the option to waive the inventory search if they do not want their cars inventoried. Quotes: "The Supreme Court wants these inventories to be done by policy." "I would not let my officers personally break people's stuff property open and break their property in order to inventory." "Most of these officers actually don't break anything open because they feel kind of guilty about it." "I personally like agencies that offer a waiver for vehicle owners who don't want their cars inventoried." Join the next Search & Seizure show and get your questions answered LIVE ON AIR.
