D.Minn.: There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in goods in a box opened for sale in a store

In a counterfeit sports jersey case, the defendant had no reasonable expectation of privacy in a box he opened and put on the counter of a store to sell. United States v. Gore, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 160497 (D. Minn. October 23, 2014).*

The officer had reasonable suspicion to continue the traffic stop: “Pence’s glassy, bloodshot eyes, the presence of a moderate odor of alcohol, Pence’s admission that he had earlier consumed two beers, Pence’s flush face, Pence’s inability to concentrate when the deputy asked for his driver’s license and registration, and Pence’s failure to turn off his vehicle before exiting it.” State v. Pence, 2014-Ohio-5072, 2014 Ohio App. LEXIS 4933 (2d Dist. November 14, 2014).*
