CA11: 911 DV call led to entry and plain view of identify theft

Officers received a frantic domestic abuse call with an allegation of injury. They “authoritatively knocked on the door” and it was opened, and they could smell burning marijuana. They came in to the living room only, and evidence of identity theft was in plain view on a table in the living room. United States v. Dabrezil, 2015 U.S. App. LEXIS 2573 (11th Cir. February 20, 2015).

Reasonable suspicion of drug use by the driver of a vehicle from a white napkin received from a person standing next to the vehicle, and then observing a seat belt violation justified the stop. The evidence of drug use on the floor was plain view. State v. Hall, 2015 La. App. LEXIS 288 (La.App. 4 Cir. February 18, 2015).*

Defendant’s crossing the fog line was reasonable suspicion for his stop, and there was a drug dog on the scene almost immediately. State v. Morris, 2015 Ida. App. LEXIS 9 (February 18, 2015).*
