Landlord lacks standing in the names of his tenants

A landlord could not claim a privacy interest in the requirements of a local ordinance that required disclosure of the names of tenants. Lopez v. City of Oil City, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 25684 (W.D. Pa. March 31, 2008).*

Defendant lacked standing to challenge physical manipulation and search of the duffle bags in the van that defendant did not claim. If he did claim them, he likely would have had standing. United States v. Worthon, 520 F.3d 1173 (10th Cir. 2008).*

Forcing a suspect to the ground during a Terry stop is not always unreasonable. “‘[T]he right to make an arrest or investigatory stop necessarily carries with it the right to use some degree of physical coercion or threat thereof to effect it.’ Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386, 396 (1989).” Cotton v. D.C., 541 F. Supp. 2d 195 (D. D.C. 2008).*

Seatbelt violation justified defendant’s stop, and the court finds that he consented to the search. United States v. Taylor, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 25805 (C.D. Ill. March 31, 2008).*
