United States v. Robinsongreen2 sentences2005In short, “[a] single, familiar standard is essential to guide police officers, who have only limited time and expertise to reflect on and balance the social and individual interests involved in the specific circumstances they confront.” Dunaway v. New York, 442 U.S. 200 , 213-214 So it was that, in United States v. Robinson, 414 U.S. 218 , the Court hewed to a straightforward rule, easily applied, and predictably enforced: “[I]n the case of a lawful custodial arrest a full search of the person is not only an exception to the warrant requirement of the Fourth Amendment, but is also a ‘reasonab 2005In short, “[a] single, familiar standard is essential to guide police officers, who have only limited time and expertise to reflect on and balance the social and individual interests involved in the specific circumstances they confront.” Dunaway v.

California v.

Mincey v. Arizona
green
2 sentences2021See Steinmetz, supra; Wofford, supra (citing Thompson v. Louisiana, 469 U.S. 17 (1984); Mincey, supra. The Supreme Court’s statements of the emergency exception reiterate that the emergency exception does not depend on the officers’ subjective intent or the seriousness of any crime they are investigating; rather, it requires only an objectively reasonable basis for believing that a person within the house is in need of immediate aid. 1992Finally, just as there is no murder scene exception to the warrant requirement, Mincey v. Arizona, 437 U.S. 385 (1978), we know of no exception permitting a general search of a wrecked car for evidence of ownership, at least when the identity of the driver is known. 3 The State’s contention that the search can be justified under the “plain view” doctrine is without merit. | 5 | 1980–2021 |
Payton v. New York
green
2 sentences1997The New York Court of Appeals suppressed the statement as the fruit of a Fourth Amendment violation, and the Supreme Court reversed regardless of the fact that the arrest was made in Harris’s home without a warrant in violation of Payton v. New York, 445 U.S. 573 (1980). 1997Thus, the entry was not covered by the exception to the warrant requirement discussed in Payton v. New York, 445 U.S. 573 (1980). | 5 | 1982–2014 |

2 sentences1985Citing Robbins v. California, 453 U.S. 420 (1981) and Arkansas v. Sanders, 442 U.S. 753 (1979), appellant contends on appeal that the warrantless search of his briefcase was unreasonable because of the expectation of privacy one has in containers such as briefcases. 2 However, in both Robbins and Sanders, investigatory, not inventory, searches were conducted, and the government was attempting to justify the searches of the containers under the vehicle exception to the warrant requirement. 1982Relying on United States v. Chadwick, 433 U.S. 1 (1977) and Arkansas v. Sanders, supra, the Court rejected the contention that the “automobile exception” to the Fourth Amendment warrant requirement justifies the warrantless search of closed containers found inside the automobile. | 2 | 1982–1985 |
