State v. Eubanks
green
1 sentence2022In granting the State's motion to reconsider its initial decision to suppress the results of the search of the backpack, the district court simply relied on United States v. Ross and [State v. ]Eubanks[, 355 N.W. 2d 57 (Iowa 1984),] to hold that 'Rincon had no expectation of privacy that would have precluded law enforcement from searching the 12 containers within the detained vehicle, which included her backpack.' Regardless, on our de novo review, the front pocket of the backpack (where the bag of marijuana was protruding) was large enough to hold at least a single-shot bottle of liquor. | 1 | 2022–2022 |

2 sentences2018And, for obvious reasons, it is important to keep them straight." United States v. Polanco , 634 F.3d 39 , 43 (1st Cir. 2011). 2018As suggested by our discussion of Polanco , 634 F.3d at 43 , this distinction has led many courts to conclude the reasonable-belief standard requires something less than probable cause-at least on the point of whether the evidence may be in the car (as opposed to the justification for the arrest that triggers the Gant vehicle exception). | 1 | 2018–2018 |
State v. Skelton

2 sentences2018Parker also claimed his incriminating statements were made without his "full, knowing, and intelligent waiver" under Miranda because of his "physical, mental, educational and emotional state."

Skelton , 247 Kan. 34 , 46, 795 P.2d 349 (1990) ; (3) the dog's alert provided probable cause and "the inherent movability of a vehicle" allo 2018Parker also claimed his incriminating statements were made without his "full, knowing, and intelligent waiver" under Miranda because of his "physical, mental, educational and emotional state."
