SCHOLARLY FOURTH AMENDMENT DECISION AFFIRMS SUPPRESION

By Kulmeet Galhotra | Published: September 8, 2009
In a lengthy and scholarly opinion delivered by Justice Toomin, the trial court’s ruling (Judge Linn) suppressing cocaine found during a warrantless search of a car is affirmed. The opinion, People v. Rolando Estrada, 1-08-2909 (8/28/09) which reviews the basic doctrines of Terry searches, searches incident to arrests, and the basics of the exclusionary rule, provides a nice review of important and basic Fourth Amendment law.
