D.Ariz.: Police merely entering a hospital room to talk is not a “search”

There was no Fourth Amendment violation from an officer coming into defendant’s hospital room to talk to him because it wasn’t a search. Even so, defendant consented to the officer’s presence. United States v. John, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 86369 (D. Ariz. June 24, 2014).*

There was probable cause for defendant’s stop and search incident to his arrest based on the detailed and corroborated information from the CI. His admissions led to a search warrant for his home. The trial court’s finding of no probable cause is reversed. People v. Nguyen, 2014 Mich. App. LEXIS 1213 (June 24, 2014).*
