Question 1: Lawfully observing growing marijuana in a private, fenced backyard does or does not give you the right to go seize it without a warrant, exigent circumstances, or consent.
Answer: Does Not (Section II – B)
Question 2: Is the following scenario lawful or not: Officer who was trying to locate resident stood on the public side of a side yard gate and raised himself three inches on his tip toes to look over six-foot fence. His observation of a cocked revolver in the side yard did not amount to a search. Suspecting that the resident was home (warm car hood and light on in garage) and knowing that a seven-year-old child lived there, the officer lawfully jumped over the fence to retrieve the gun based on exigent circumstances.
Answer: His observations and the entry to seize the revolver were lawful. Section III
Question 3: In the following scenario may the police seize the pipes? Police, while arresting a suspect at the door to his hotel room pursuant to two arrest warrants, observed in plain view two glass cocaine pipes inside the room.
Answer: The officers were entitled to seize the pipes. However, even though the pipes provided probable cause that there were more narcotics or paraphernalia inside the room, a search warrant was needed before the officers could lawfully search the room. Section III - A
Question 4: Were the officer’s actions legal in the following scenario? Neighbors reported that they had not seen the victim for two weeks, and officers had received two calls expressing concern for the victim. One month earlier they had responded to a domestic disturbance reported at the victim’s apartment. No one had responded to a note from the police asking the victim to call, there was mail in her mailbox, and officers found the front door unlocked after receiving a neighbor’s report that someone had been banging on the door.
Answer: Warrantless entries may be appropriate when police are looking for an occupant “reliably reported as missing.” The officers lawfully entered the apartment based on the totality of the circumstances indicating an emergency situation. Section IV- A - 2
Question 5: May the officers force a warrantless entry in the following scenario? Officer responded to ADW call and found an infant brutally cut and injured. Reliable information indicated the assailant was drunk and had gone home, where he lived with his own young son. After discovering a trail of fresh blood and broken glass at the residence, knocking and announcing at the front and back doors, and observing the lights go out in response.
Answer: Yes, the officer could legally force a warrantless entry based on concern for the son. Section IV – A - 2
Question 6: May officers enter a residence to arrest a misdemeanor DUI suspect who had immediately gone inside after driving and appeared uncooperative in that he attempted to evade contact with the officers who could see and hear him inside the residence and attempted to flee through the back door.
Answer: Yes, under specific circumstances. NOTE: The California Supreme Court specifically declined to approve warrantless entries for the apprehension of all misdemeanor DUI suspects. Section IV - D
Question 7: Was the officer’s search proper in the following scenario? An officer responded to a report of “shots fired” at Apartment 5 of an apartment complex. The officer saw blood leading from the door of Apartment 5 to the laundry room where he discovered the dead victim. A little later, other officers responded and began a search for evidence that might lead to immediate apprehension of the murderer. The officers found contraband and a vehicle registration slip in the name of M. Amaya, Jr.
Answer: The search was proper and the evidence was admissible. Section IV - F - 1
Question 8: In the following scenario, must the officers knock and notice before they entered the bedroom door? Officers executing a search warrant at a residence one morning knocked, announced repeatedly, and were “refused” admittance by the lack of any response within a reasonable period of time even though a woman at the front window had seen them approaching. They opened the unlocked front door, found the woman and detained her in one room, and continued down the hallway to a closed bedroom door. There they knocked, stated “Police, search warrant,” and simultaneously opened the door and entered, without waiting for any “refusal.”
Answer: “Having fully complied with section 1531 at the outer door, the officers were under no constitutional or statutory obligation to repeat the knock-notice litany once inside.” Section V – C - 2
Question 9: Why should you ALWAYS ask for consent to search even when you have other authority for the search?
Answer: In case the other grounds for the search (e.g., exigency or warrant) are later ruled insufficient. See examples below:
Example: A homeowner calls in to report a burglary. After entry of the victim’s home, the officers “sense” that the victim may be dealing in narcotics. The officers request and obtain permission to search anywhere in the house. They discover crime-related evidence, which will be admissible on the independent ground of consent. Section VI – A - 1
