OH1: CI’s tip justified protective frisk for gun

The stop was justified, and officers had a CI that said defendant kept a gun in the car. That was enough for a protective frisk. The weapon here was found before a search incident or a search under the automobile exception, but it’s still valid. State v. Jones, 2014-Ohio-1201, 2014 Ohio App. LEXIS 1104 (1st Dist. March 26, 2014).*

Defendant was validly stopped for a lane change violation and a “large firearm” was in plain view on the rear floorboard. State v. Williams, 2014 La. App. LEXIS 819 (La. App. 5 Cir. March 26, 2014).*

Appellant’s property had been unoccupied since 1995, and city inspectors went on the property to take pictures before bringing a nuisance action. He didn’t object at trial, so he couldn’t raise it on appeal. Jumonville v. City of Kenner, 2014 La. App. LEXIS 816 (La. App. 5 Cir. March 26, 2014).*
