TX14: SW seizure of things besides child pornography to show def’s connection to the premises did not make the search unreasonable

The affidavit for the search warrant for defendant’s home and computer for child pornography was based on probable cause. The seizure of things besides child pornography to show defendant’s connection to the premises did not make the search unreasonable. (§ 56.18 n.2) Jennings v. State, 2017 Tex. App. LEXIS 9134 (Tex. App. – Houston (14th Dist.) Sept. 28, 2017).

The officer chasing the juvenile had reasonable suspicion for the stop from the juvenile’s flight, particularly his stopping running and likely putting something down and then resuming flight where his gait was different because he wasn’t protecting what he was carrying. Commonwealth v. Shane S., 92 Mass. App. Ct. 314, 2017 Mass. App. LEXIS 131 (Sept. 27, 2017).*
