“Exigent circumstances may exist when (1) the police are engaged in a bona fide pursuit of a fleeing suspect, (2) there is a risk of immediate destruction of evidence, or (3) there is a colorable claim of emergency threatening the life or safety of another.” People v. Crawford, 891 P.2d 255, 258 (Colo. 1995). ¶ 22 No one, much less a police officer without medical training, can know with certainty what will happen when packaged drugs are swallowed. 5 People v.

For example, when we are presented with a claim of a risk of immediate destruction of evidence, our cases consistently explain that the prosecution must show "an articulable basis on the part of the police to justify a reasonable belief that evidence is about to be removed *649 or destroyed."

Minn. Ct. App. · 2009 · confidence medium
Whether a particular suspect was sophisticated enough to recognize his imminent arrest and the “wisdom” of destroying evidence is irrelevant because officers “cannot be expected to know an individual defendant’s proclivities and to adapt their investigative techniques to those characteristics.” People v. Crawford, 891 P.2d 255, 259 (Colo.1995) (holding that 8:15 a.m. warrantless entry and search of sexual-assault suspect’s residence was justified by exigent circumstances where suspect could have awakened to find that victim had left and, fearing arrest, would destroy evidence).

Exigent circumstances have been found to support a warrantless search in three situations: where “(1) the police are engaged in a bona fide pursuit of a fleeing suspect, (2) there is a risk of immediate destruction of evidence, or (3) there is a colorable claim of emergency threatening the life or safety of another.” People v. Crawford, 891 P.2d 255, 258 (Colo.1995).

Thus, the seizure meets the “reasonable nexus standard.” See People v. Franklin, 640 P.2d 226, 230 (Colo. 1982) (“the officer seizing the article must have present knowledge of facts which establish a reasonable nexus between the article to be seized—whether ‘mere evidence’ or otherwise—and criminal behavior”) (footnote omitted); see also People v. Crawford, 891 P.2d 255, 260 (Colo.1995) (discussing reasonable nexus in the context of a search pursuant to probable cause and exigency).
