D.Neb.: CI’s significant information was corroborated, albeit innocent in itself

Officers independently corroborated the CI and that made the CI reliable. The fact they were innocent were still significant things that proved correct. Their observations were also consistent with drug transactions. United States v. De La Torre-Casas, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 70361 (D.Neb. June 1, 2015).*

“The record amply demonstrated that the agents, upon confronting Defendant after he opened the door, identified themselves, never drew their weapons or threatened Defendant, observed Defendant to be calm, and obtained his voluntary consent to enter and search the premises.” “If a defendant does not limit the scope of his consent to a search, the limits of the search extend to what is objectively reasonable or what ‘the typical reasonable person [would] have understood by the exchange between the officer and the suspect.’ Florida v. Jimeno, 500 U.S. 248, 251, 111 S. Ct. 1801, 114 L. Ed. 2d 297 (1991).” United States v. Poom-Medina, 2015 U.S. App. LEXIS 9065 (9th Cir. June 1, 2015).*

The stop and its extension was with probable cause and consent, so Rodriguez didn’t apply. United States v. Baez, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 70256 (E.D. Mich. June 1, 2015).*
