2008Litchfield explains Indiana does not use the same Fourth Amendment analysis in interpreting its own state prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures: “Although [Indiana’s constitutional] language tracks the Fourth Amendment verbatim, Indiana has explicitly rejected the expectation of privacy as a test of the reasonableness of a search or seizure.” Litchfield , at 360.

2002We, therefore, conclude the Sumlin opinion does not support the officer’s search of the jacket in this case. [¶ 11] In U.S. v. O’Bryant, 775 F.2d 1528, 1533 (11th Cir.1986), an alleged Fourth Amendment violation occurred when an officer searched inside a discarded briefcase the officer found sitting next to an overflowing trash bin on a busy city street.

2006In Brown, at 611, 95 S.Ct. 2254 Justice Powell, in an opinion concurring in part, outlined a requirement for some demonstrably effective break in the chain of events leading from an illegal arrest to a statement, such as actual consultation with counsel or the accused’s presentation before a magistrate for a determination of probable cause, before the taint of illegal conduct can be removed. [¶ 16] Other courts have recognized that consultation with an attorney or a relative is an intervening circumstance that can purge the taint of a prior Fourth Amendment violation.

2003In applying this doctrine, two principles must be kept in mind. (1) Since the doctrine is an exception to the ordinary Fourth Amendment requirement of a warrant for entry into a home, the burden of proof is on the state to show that the warrantless entry fell within the exception.

2009When the principal claim of ineffectiveness is that counsel failed to move to suppress evidence, the petitioner “must also prove that his Fourth Amendment claim is meritorious and that there is a reasonable probability that the verdict would have been different absent the excludable evidence in order to demonstrate actual prejudice.” Id.
