TN: Blood on def’s sock supported PC for automobile exception

Based on blood on defendant’s sock, on the totality there was probable cause to believe that more possible blood evidence would be found in his car. That was sufficient for the automobile exception to apply. State v. Peden, 2016 Tenn. Crim. App. LEXIS 699 (Sept. 19, 2016).

It is not inherently incredible that defendant erratically drove across five lanes of traffic and almost collided with a car, and then almost hit a police car. The smell of marijuana justified the search after the stop. United States v. Dean, 2016 U.S. App. LEXIS 17434 (6th Cir. Sept. 22, 2016).*
