OH6: There is no crime scene exception to the Fourth Amendment but other mere observations were extensions of the 911 call

FourthAmendment.com - News - Fri, 2024-11-29 18:39

A friend came to defendant’s house and he told her to call 911 because he had just killed his wife. She did, and the police arrived, and he let them in to the house. While there is no general crime scene exception to the Fourth Amendment under Flippo, the entry of the first responders and then others were by consent or a mere extension of the first for an observation. No evidence was taken as to the latter. State v. Beach, 2012 Ohio 2338, 2012 Ohio App. LEXIS 2068 (6th Dist. May 25, 2012).

Defendant was with a group of people on the street, and a police car crossed traffic to pull up in front of them. They were not seized, even by the officer “asking” them to remove their hoods. United States v. Moede, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 73219 (E.D. Wis. May 25, 2012).*

Defendant is a Russian formerly living in Cyprus who was indicted in Brooklyn for international credit card fraud. When he was arrested in Cyprus, his laptop was seized and searched. He was extradited and pled guilty here. His lawyer was not ineffective for not challenging the search of the computer in Cyprus where the U.S. was not at all involved, and he consented to parts of it. Defendant also falls short on a “shocking the conscience” due process claim. United States v. Vega, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 73329 (E.D. N.Y. May 24, 2012).*
