WI: When a probation term includes no computers, it is reasonable for a probation officer to search one found in the home

When a probation term includes no computers, it is reasonable for a probation officer to search one found in the home. This one had child pornography on it. State v. Purtell, 2014 WI 101, 2014 Wisc. LEXIS 538 (August 1, 2014).

Following Weems v. State, 2014 Tex. App. LEXIS 5109 (Tex. App.—San Antonio May 14, 2014), “For all of the reasons we have discussed above, we agree with our sister courts’ holdings that implied consent under the Texas Transportation Code is not a recognized exception to the warrant requirement.” “Based on the language in McNeely and the reasoning of our sister court in Weems, we decline to hold that mandatory blood draws under the Texas Transportation Code are per se reasonable and further decline to hold that an officer is not required to obtain a warrant for the blood draw or show that the blood draw was conducted under a recognized exception to the warrant requirement. Therefore, we also cannot uphold the trial court’s denial of Appellant’s motion to suppress on this ground.” Forsyth v. State, 2014 Tex. App. LEXIS 8381 (Tex. App. – Eastland July 31, 2014).
