MI: No RS required for administrative SW for rental unit inspections once every 3 years

“Appellant city challenges the district court’s denial of its application for an administrative search warrant to conduct a rental-housing inspection [where inspections are only done every three years], arguing that the district court erred in determining that individualized suspicion of a code violation is required. Because we are not left with a “clear and strong conviction” that there is a principled basis for interpreting article I, section 10, of the Minnesota Constitution to provide greater protection than the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution in this context, we reverse and remand.” In re An Admin. Search Warrant v. Wiebesick, 2016 Minn. App. LEXIS 44 (June 13, 2016).
