WI: Body camera video showed def just went along with directions and didn’t consent; if there was consent, it was revoked

The body camera video showed neither exigency nor consent for the entry into defendant’s apartment. Silently going along with the officer’s several directives, not requests, didn’t show that defendant consented. Even if defendant had consented, the attempt to close the door was revocation of consent. As to exigency as an exception, there was no suggestion of a threat of harm or a weapon. State v. Reed, 2018 WI 109, 2018 Wisc. LEXIS 639 (Dec. 7, 2018).

The trial court erred in not ordering defendant to give a DNA sample. State v. Johnson, 2018 La. App. LEXIS 2429 (La. App. 1 Cir. Dec. 8, 2018).*
