E.D.Ky.: Knights RS standard applies to federal supervised release

FourthAmendment.com - News - Mon, 2025-06-16 06:11

The Knights reasonable suspicion standard applies to persons on federal supervised release. The USPO had RS, too. United States v. Lykins, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 74655 (E.D. Ky. May 30, 2012):

Knights is also applicable despite Defendant's status as a supervised releasee. Knights specifically addressed the warrantless search of a probationer's home. However, other court's have applied Knights' reasonable suspicion analysis to the search of a supervised releasee's residence. See, e.g., United States v. Krug, No. 3:09cr257, 2010 WL 2196607, at *4-5 (M.D. Tenn. May 26, 2010). Moreover, other circuits have recognized that supervised releasees and probationers have similar expectations of privacy. See United States v. Stewart, 532 F.3d 32, 36 (1st Cir. 2008) (recognizing that probation and supervised release are different forms of conditional release, and courts have not distinguished among conditional releasees for Fourth Amendment purposes); United States v. Weikert, 504 F.3d 1, 12 (1st Cir. 2007) (refusing to distinguish the privacy interests of a supervised releasee from a probationer); United States v. Zimmerman, 514 F.3d 851, 855 (9th Cir. 2007) (treating probationer's Fourth Amendment challenge to DNA Act as foreclosed by prior precedent addressing challenge by supervised releasee); Banks v. United States, 490 F.3d 1178, 1187 (10th Cir. 2007) (supervised releasees and probationers fall into the "category of felons on release who are not entitled to the full panoply of rights and protections possessed by the general republic"). In fact, the Second Circuit has held that supervised release places the most severe limits on expectations of privacy, greater than those of both parole and probation. United States v. Balon, 384 F.3d 38, 44 (2d Cir. 2004). Therefore, Defendant, as a supervised releasee, had the same, if not less, expectation of privacy as did the probationer in Knights. As a result, Knights' holding that the Fourth Amendment requires "no more than reasonable suspicion to conduct a search" of a probationer applies to the search of Defendant's residence. See Knights, 534 U.S. at 121.
