2013Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213 , 103 S.Ct. 2317 , 76 L.Ed.2d 527 (1983) (finding that a totality of the circumstances analysis should be used to determine whether an informant’s tip provides probable cause to issue a warrant).

2008We do note that the determination of whether a consent to search is voluntary is analyzed under the totality of the circumstances standard, see Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, 412 U.S. 218 , 93 S.Ct. 2041 , 36 L.Ed.2d 854 (1973); State v. Edwards, 434 So.2d 395 (La.1983), et at, and in this case the trial judge specifically stated that he was not considering anything that occurred before Agent Liccardi approached the defendant on the steps of the trailer.

2024Further, the Louisiana Supreme Court has also “expressly held or at least implied that the defendant’s flight from police officers is the most important factor in the totality of the circumstances analysis.” State v. Morgan, 09-2352 (La. 3/15/11), 59 So. 3d 403 .

2024To this end, “flight from a police officer plays a major role in the totality of the circumstances analysis.” Id. at p. 6, 59 So.3d at 407 (citing Wardlow, 528 U.S. at 124 , 120 S.Ct. at 676 ).

2013I recognize that the Louisiana Supreme Court in State v. Fernandez, 96-2719 (La.4/14/98), 712 So.2d 485 , implemented the totality of the circumstances standard in determining whether a juvenile-defendant knowingly or voluntarily waived his rights.

2007In State v. Fernandez, 96-2719, p. 10 (La.4/14/98), 712 So.2d 485, 490 , the Louisiana Supreme Court reinstated the totality of the circumstances standard as the basis for determining the admissibility of juvenile confessions.
