E.D.Va.: Body cam showed consent

The officers’ body cams showed that defendant consented to the entry into his hotel room. Officers were walking by the room, not even looking for defendant, and they smelled marijuana. They determined it must be coming from defendant’s room, so they knocked. He ultimately admitted them. While the first 30 seconds has no audio, defendant is waving the officers in. In the room was evidence of credit card fraud in plain view. United States v. Bailey, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 154482 (E.D. Va. October 30, 2014).

Defendant’s IP subscriber information was held by Comcast in New Jersey, and he had no standing to challenge its production. Ensley v. State, 2014 Ga. App. LEXIS 702 (October 29, 2014).*

Defendant was stopped because his vehicle and another were stopped behind a closed down strip club where no cars ever are in a well known high crime area. He suspected a drug deal going down and the LPN on one came back to somebody with a drug history. State v. George, 2014-Ohio-4853, 2014 Ohio App. LEXIS 4723 (2d Dist. October 31, 2014).*
