NJ: Emergency entry valid despite two hour delay attempting to locate victim

The entry into defendant’s home was justified under the emergency aid doctrine on a finding of blood despite a two hour delay where the police were calling hospitals trying to locate the defendant to avoid the entry unless it was necessary. State v. Sheppard, 2014 N.J. Super. LEXIS 123 (September 3, 2014).

A trailer could be searched on the premises where a search warrant was executed, and it included “motor vehicles” in the particularity clause. [That really wouldn’t matter since vehicles are uniformly found to be searchable on the premises where a search warrant is executed.] United States v. Debolt, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 122725 (N.D. Ohio August 29, 2014).*

The CI in this case was known to law enforcement and told them about defendant’s planned robberies, calling officers twice that day with new information. The CI was thus considered credible. United States v. Anglin, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 122723 (E.D. Wis. July 17, 2014),* R&R 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 166150 (W.D. Wis. April 28, 2014).*
