N.D.Miss.: 45 minute stop without RS unreasonable

In looking for drugs after a tag light was out, a 45 minute detention became unreasonable and was not connected to any articulable facts. United States v. Valle-Tellez, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 122995 (N.D. Miss. December 18, 2009).*

Defendant was arrested when he showed up as an internet traveler for arranging sex with a minor over the Internet. There was probable cause to search his car. United States v. Deal, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 122874 (M.D. Fla. July 29, 2009)* [In my experience with these cases, there is evidence in the car at least 75% of the time.]

The district court’s findings of consent are supported by the record. United States v. Ray, 361 Fed. Appx. 674, 2010 FED App. 0026N (6th Cir. 2010) (unpublished).*

Leaving a copy of a search warrant at the premises when the defendant is arrested is [substantial] compliance with the requirement that the target of the search be served a copy of a search warrant. The knock-and-announce requirement was satisfied here, so whether the state should follow Hudson is moot. State v. Davis, 2010 Tenn. Crim. App. LEXIS 30 (January 12, 2010).*
