KS: Davis GFE applied to a blood draw process valid at time but later held unconstitutional

Defendant was involved in a head-on accident and was unconscious at the hospital when his blood was drawn. The good faith exception to the exclusionary rule applies because, at the time of the blood draw, it was lawful under state law. Later a case said it wasn’t, and this is Davis good faith. State v. Meitler, 2015 Kan. App. LEXIS 21 (March 27, 2015).

Defendant’s “stop” where the officer approached a parked car without emergency lights and without blocking it told the driver that they were “going to hang out” a little while while another officer investigated something was with reasonable suspicion and reasonable in length. State v. Montgomery, 2015 Tenn. LEXIS 271 (March 27, 2015),* rev’g State v. Montgomery, 2014 Tenn. Crim. App. LEXIS 217 (March 12, 2014).*
