The I-19 checkpoint south of Tucson is a constitutional immigration checkpoint per the Ninth Circuit. Occasionally vehicles are “flushed” through the checkpoint as vehicles build up. When that happens, that does not change the legal standard of suspicion necessary to stop a vehicle for an immigration check. Also, the fact all the officers working the checkpoint are cross-designated as drug officers does not make the checkpoint unconstitutional, despite the fact that 300-400 drug smuggling cases are made there a year. United States v. Ruiz-Perez, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 44505 (D. Ariz. March 30, 2012), R&R 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 154502 (D. Ariz. October 6, 2011):

Agent Kouris' subjective belief that Defendant's vehicle may be smuggling drugs does not affect the analysis the reasonableness of the stop. Although subjective intent has been considered in evaluating the subjective intrusiveness of a checkpoint stop, the key consideration is the subjective belief of the traveler, not the officer. See e.g. United States v. Hawkins, 249 F.3d 867, 874 (9thCir. 2001) (stating "in some instances, the failure to stop every vehicle could raise concerns over subjective intrusiveness," but finding no Fourth Amendment violation where Defendant was not treated differently from other drivers and no law-abiding motorist would have been unduly surprised or afraid because of this stop). In fact, the Supreme Court has indicated that some discretion and motive is inherent and permissible in routine checkpoint operations. ...

An arrest for trespass at a housing project did not justify a search incident and seizure of the bicycle the defendant was riding. It wasn’t an offense for which there would be evidence. Commonwealth v. Holloway, 2012 Mass. App. LEXIS 162 (March 30, 2012).

Defendant was stopped for suspicion of DUI and his car was searched without a warrant in violation of the state constitution. While the officer did all that he normally could, there is no good faith exception in Washington, and the search should have been suppressed. State v. Tamblyn, 2012 Wash. App. LEXIS 695 (March 20, 2012).*

In an appeal dismissed for lack of a dispositive question, the court added: “Defendant has failed to cite controlling authority, and we have found none, to support his assertion that ‘proof of actual attempts by law enforcement officers to obtain a lawful warrant must be placed on the record before the court may find that exigent circumstances exist.’” State v. Lands, 2012 Tenn. Crim. App. LEXIS 203 (March 29, 2012)
