officer rule in Illinois

2026“Whether the necessary probability exists is governed by commonsense considerations that are factual and practical, rather than by technical rules.” People v. Manzo, 2018 IL 122761, ¶ 30 . “[P]robable cause does not require an officer to rule out any innocent explanations for suspicious facts.” Hill, 2020 IL 124595, ¶ 24 .

2024“Whether the necessary probability exists is governed by commonsense considerations that are factual and practical, rather than by technical rules.” People v. Manzo, 2018 IL 122761, ¶ 30 . “[P]robable cause does not require an officer to rule out any innocent explanations for suspicious facts.” Hill, 2020 IL 124595, ¶ 24 .

2023The appellate court reasoned that by changing the hearing date specifically to fit the officer’s schedule, the trial court “may have unintentionally lulled Ullrich into believing he would be able to question the officer at the hearing.” Id. at 826 .

2002I agree that the granting of the continuance "may have unintentionally lulled Ullrich into believing he would be able to question the officer at the hearing." Op. 262 Ill.Dec. at 963 , 767 N.E.2d at 423 .

2021The scope of a warrantless search under the automobile exception “is defined by the object of the search and the places in which there is probable cause to believe that it may be found.” Ross, 456 U.S. at 824 . ¶ 35 We find that the search of the locked glove compartment for open containers of alcohol was justified under the automobile exception because the officers had probable cause to search the locked glove compartment for open containers of alcohol.

1941(Abbott v. Hayes County, 78 Neb. 729 ; People v. Board of Police, 75 N. Y. 38 .) Whether, as held by some courts of last resort, such conduct on the part of a successful candidate is sufficient to invalidate his election it is not necessary or proper here to determine, as that question could only be properly presented in a proceeding brought against the officer to test his right to office.

2026“Because probable cause deals with probabilities, not certainties, probable cause does not require an officer to rule out any innocent explanations for suspicious facts.” Id.

2023Further, we rejected the defendant’s argument that changes in cannabis law required it to now be treated in the same manner as alcohol, noting “[a]lcohol is regulated differently than cannabis” and it is not required “to be transported in an odor-proof container.” Id. ¶ 51. ¶ 32 Next, in Hall, 2023 IL App (4th) 220209, ¶ 5 , the defendant was the passenger of a vehicle stopped by the police in July 2020.

2023Instead, probable cause “requires only that the facts available to the officer—including the plausibility of an innocent explanation—would warrant a reasonable [person] to believe there is a reasonable probability ‘that certain items may be contraband or stolen property or useful as evidence of a crime.’ ” Id. (quoting Brown, 460 U.S. at 742 ). “[I]n deciding whether probable cause exists, a law - 10 - No. 1-22-0920 enforcement officer may rely on training and experience to draw inferences and make deductions that might well elude an untrained person.” Jones, 215 Ill. 2d at 274 ; see also Peop

2020Here, as in Peoples, the State offered the out-of-court statements for the truth of the matter asserted, that is, that Pierce was the offender. ¶ 22 Having concluded the testimony about out-of-court witnesses’ statements to the officer was in error, we examine whether “a clear or obvious error occurred and the evidence is so closely balanced that the error alone threatened to tip the scales of justice against the defendant, regardless of the seriousness of the error, or whether a clear or obvious error occurred and that error is so serious that it affected the fairness of the defendant’s trial

1994(See State v. Taylor (R.I. 1993), 621 A.2d 1252 (finding Leon analysis inapplicable to arrest where executing officer had no knowledge of facts supporting probable cause in warrant).) While Leon allows an officer to rely on a judge’s determination that facts in an affidavit are sufficient to satisfy the probable cause standard, nothing in Leon allows an officer to claim a good-faith belief in the validity of a warrant based only on a radio transmission from a fellow officer.

1993Item No. 10 in the request to admit reads: “That the officer when warning the Defendant, stated that Defendant’s driving’s license would be suspended for one year if Defendant refused to submit to breath testing.” The court’s written order granting rescission states: “Improper warning given.” The State filed a motion to “reconsider” arguing for the first time that the request to admit should have been deemed denied by virtue of the traffic citations and the statements in the law officer’s sworn report; the State further argued that the factual statements in the request were improperly admitted

1982A statement made by a defendant taking medication will be considered involuntary only if the subsequent statement “is, in fact, induced by the administration of a drug.” (People v. Kincaid (1981), 87 Ill. 2d 107, 117 , 429 N.E.2d 508, 511 .) Even if the officer hearing the first statement in the hospital believed that possible medication might render the statement inadmissible at trial, that belief is irrelevant to the question whether the statement was in fact voluntary and properly admissible at trial. ( 87 Ill. 2d 107 , 429 N.E.2d 508 .) Further, the extension of the effect of possible medi
