United States, 517 U.S. at 809 (“regardless of whether a police officer subjectively believes that the occupants of an automobile may be engaging in some other illegal behavior, a traffic stop is permissible as long as a reasonable officer in the same circumstances could have stopped the car for the suspected traffic violation”). 6 In Rubio, the defendants were charged with conspiring to participate in the conduct of the affairs of the Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club, an enterprise, through a pattern of racketeeri

2018We have long held that consent is effective in a Fourth Amendment analysis only when it is "freely and voluntarily given" without either "implied threat or covert force." State v. McLain , 367 A.2d 213 , 216-17 (Me. 1976).

2017We begin our review of the officers’ actions by recognizing that “reasonableness is always the touchstone of Fourth Amendment analysis.”3 Birchfield v. North Dakota, --- U.S. ---, 136 S. Ct. 2160, 2186 (2016). [¶10] Here, officers obtained a search warrant before initially searching Cooper at the convenience store, and then another before subjecting him to a more intrusive medical scan and potential cavity search.

2016Blood tests are significantly more intrusive, and their reasonableness must be judged in light of the availability of the less invasive alternative of a breath test." Id., at 2184 Finally, the Court notes "borrowing from our Fifth Amendment jurisprudence, the United States suggests that motorists could be deemed to have consented to only those conditions that are 'reasonable' and that they have a 'nexus' to the privilege of driving and entail penalties that are proportional to severity of the violation (citation omitted.) But in the Fourth Amendment setting, this standard does not differ in su

2025As we have previously stated, “[t]he inevitable discovery exception to the exclusionary rule derives from the independent source doctrine, ‘but it differs in that the question is not whether the police did in fact acquire certain evidence by reliance upon an untainted source but instead whether evidence found because of a Fourth Amendment violation would inevitably have been discovered lawfully.’” State v. Storer, 583 A.2d 1016 , 1019–20 (Me. 1990) (quoting 4 Wayne R.

1978As stated in Alderman v. United States, 394 U.S. 165 , 89 S.Ct. 961 , 22 L.Ed.2d 176 (1969): “The established principle is that suppression of the product of a Fourth Amendment violation can be successfully urged only by those whose rights were violated by the search itself, not by those who are aggrieved solely by the introduction of damaging evidence.

2025The court reasoned that “when the government has stipulated to standing, thereby obviating the need for a defendant to present facts relevant to standing, it may not thereafter claim the defendant lacked standing.” Id. at 781 (emphasis added). [¶22] Similarly, in United States v. Hernandez, 668 F.2d 824, 826 (5th Cir. 1982), the Fifth Circuit held that the government could not assert on appeal that the defendants lacked standing under the Fourth Amendment to challenge the search of a boat partly because at the suppression hearings the government had stipulated to their standing.
