Based on a CI’s tip, the details of which had panned out completely, as soon as defendant was stopped, the officer reached for the center console and found a gun where the CI said it would be. Also, there was cocaine there. Defendant was not secured at the time it happened, and it “cleanly” fit within the Michigan v. Long protective weapons search exception. United States v. Ware, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 4425, 2012 FED App. 0244N (6th Cir. March 1, 2012) (unpublished).

It was a reasonable condition of supervised release in a child pornography case to submit to searches of any computers or devices which may access the internet. United States v. Grigsby, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 4423 (9th Cir. February 27, 2012) (unpublished)*:

The district court did not abuse its discretion by imposing a condition of supervised release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3583(d) requiring that Grigsby submit to searches and seizures of computers and related devices. "Subjecting computers and other devices able to access the Internet to monitoring, search and seizure is critical to preventing [Grigsby] from viewing or obtaining child pornography." United States v. Goddard, 537 F.3d 1087, 1090 (9th Cir. 2008). This condition of supervised release is sufficiently narrow because it applies only to those devices connected to the Internet. See United States v. Quinzon, 643 F.3d 1266, 1272-74 (9th Cir. 2011) (analyzing an identically-worded condition of supervised release).
