W.D.La.: “Home visits” means searches, but defendant consented anyway

While the term of probation said “home visits,” the PO testified that she told all her charges that “visits” meant searches, so defendant was well aware. Aside from the probation search, defendant was specifically asked for consent, and he gave it. United States v. Samuels, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 151289 (W.D. La. September 15, 2014).*

Defendant was not in custody in his interview with the police during execution of a search warrant. They told him it was to be voluntary and that no one would be arrested that day. They also told him if he wanted a lawyer, it wouldn’t happen. They also went to another room at defendant’s suggestion for it to be more private. United States v. Veit, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 151131 (W.D. Mo. September 25, 2014).*

Plaintiff’s claim that her cell phone had been cloned and the police were listening was speculative and unsupported by any facts. Leech v. Mayer, 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 20525, 2014 FED App. 0799N (6th Cir. October 22, 2014).*
