W.D.Mo.: Target of a SW has no right to see the warrant before execution

Target of a SW has no right to see the warrant before execution [probably to prevent interference with it]. Even so, that’s not a ground to suppress. The inventory has to be prepared with a witness. It can be the defendant or another officer. United States v. Crippen, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 97476 (W.D. Mo. June 22, 2015), adopted 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 97219 (W.D. Mo. July 27, 2015).

Multiple controlled buys from the defendant, and the pattern was the same: He’d leave the house and meet the CI. That shows nexus to the house for drugs. United States v. Joseph, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 97257 (W.D.Ky. July 22, 2015).

“Assuming without deciding that the search warrant lacked probable cause, the Court concludes that the evidence is nonetheless admissible under the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule as articulated in United States v. Leon, ….” United States v. Reyes-Cordova, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 97477 (D.Minn. July 7, 2015),* adopted 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 96739 (D. Minn., July 24, 2015).*
