LA4: Constructive possession to convict isn’t the test for PC; suppression order reversed

The trial court erred in granting the motion to suppress a gun, essentially conflating the probable cause inquiry and sufficiency of evidence to convict the defendant at trial of possession. State v. LangState v. LangState v. Lang, 2019 La. App. LEXIS 1304 (La. App. 4 Cir. July 22, 2019).

The 2017 use of an administrative investigation started with questions back in 2000 that went nowhere was a pretext for a criminal investigation. United States v. Madrid-Quezada, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 122185 (D. N.M. July 23, 2019).*
