MA: No reasonable expectation of privacy in sneakers defendant allowed to keep in jail

Defendant was allowed to keep his sneakers when he was checked into the jail, but there was no right to keep them. The police showed up with a search warrant for his clothing in jail property. That included the sneakers. The court finds that he had no reasonable expectation of privacy in the sneakers since they were in the jail, effectively mooting the search warrant issue as to them. Commonwealth v. Silva, 2015 Mass. LEXIS 322 (June 11, 2015).

Defendant was on a housing project parking lot and was considered a trespasser. The officers approached his car and saw a gun in plain view. State v. Hardin, 2015 Tenn. Crim. App. LEXIS 463 (June 12, 2015) (dissent).*

BAC blood draw violated McNeely, but remanded for determination of consent. Davis v. State, 2015 Ga. App. LEXIS 337 (June 12, 2015).*
