Warrantless police searches after suspect flight – Fairfax criminal lawyer Warrantless police searches are commonplace. As a Fairfax, Virginia criminal lawyer I fully dissect the circumstances of police searches, to challenge any Fourth Amendment search and seizure violations. Warrantless police searches need to be challenged, says Fairfax criminal lawyer The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” Virginia criminal lawyer on police chases of fleeing suspects Richmond City, Virginia police in 2015 were patrolling a high-crime area, when one of them saw Thomas Reed Roberts, who matched the description of a…

From the intro to the latest Reasonably Suspicious podcast, apropos of Christmas Eve, please enjoy 'A Very Carpenter Christmas,' a bit of seasonal verse in honor of US v. Carpenter - the case pending before the US Supreme Court which will decide whether the government must secure a search warrant under the Fourth Amendment in order to access personal location tracking data on individuals from their cell-phone service providers:'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the home, The smartphones pinged cell towers, ne'er did they roam. Their location was fixed there all through the night, Could be proven in court with no warrant in sight. Then what to my wondering eyes did appear, But Chief Justice Roberts like a red-nosed reindeer,Leading the way for SCOTUS to hone A warrant requirement for tracking your phone. On Roberts, on Gorsuch, on Sotomayor. Tracking us isn't what phones are for. On…

State v. Boone – Evidence Suppressed Because Search Warrant Application Lacked Sufficient Detail

0
0
Generally speaking, there are two broad categories of searches.  Either a search can be made with a search warrant, or it can be warrantless.  Our law prefers searches that are made pursuant to a warrant.  A warrantless search will be valid only if the search and seizure activities fall within one of the recognized exceptions to the warrant requirement, each of which has its own detailed requirements. Evidence seized pursuant to a search conducted with a warrant is, as a general rule, harder to suppress than evidence seized without a warrant.  Defense counsel must carefully review the warrant paperwork, which consists of an application submitted in support of the warrant, the warrant itself, and the return on the warrant, so as to locate defects in the application process that can serve as the basis for a suppression motion.  The identification of such defects was the basis for the recent New Jersey Supreme Court decision in State v. Boone, which was…

“As Justice Louis D. Brandeis warned many years ago: ‘The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.’ Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, 479, 48 S.Ct. 564, 72 L.Ed. 944 (1928) (Brandeis, J., dissenting).   After all, United States prosecutors are bound to appear in the name of Justice. We are of the opinion that the Government overstepped its bounds early in the pretrial process and continued to overreach during trial. The Government's actions, unchecked by the district court at critical points, so tipped the scales of justice as to render Wells' trial fundamentally unfair. Therefore, we reverse and remand for a new trial.”  United States v. James Michael Wells, 2017 WL 6459199 (9thCir. Dec. 19, 2017), decision available here.Players:Decision by visiting DJ Walter, joined by Judges Tashima and Nguyen. Concurrence by Judge Nguyen. Partial concurrence and…
