A random license plate check justified the stop of defendant’s car for failure to transfer tag. Defendant was a passenger. When the officer ran his name, a felony no-contact violation warrant came back. The arrest was justified. State v. Bonds, 2013 Wash. App. LEXIS 939 (April 23, 2013).*
There is no requirement for a warning for a second test for blood after the warned first test. Defendant consented. Commonwealth v. Gorbea-Lespier, 2013 PA Super 96, 2013 Pa. Super. LEXIS 261 (April 23, 2013).*
Officers came to do a knock-and-talk and countered people outside. Before knocking, there was a stong odor of marijuana around the trailer. Based on this, they could detain the people outside so they couldn’t warn the people inside. Commonwealth v. Johnson, 2013 PA Super 95, 2013 Pa. Super. LEXIS 260 (April 23, 2013).*
Odor of marijuana coming from defendant’s car was probable cause, even if defendant denied smoking it. United States v. Richmond, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 59021 (S.D. Ind. April 25, 2013).*
