E.D.Mich.: Def’s giving false name justifies extending stop

Defendant’s giving a false name extended the stop and added to the reasonable suspicion to detain him after his true identity was discovered. United States v. Jackson, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 188225 (E.D. Mich. Oct. 30, 2019).

The affidavit for the search warrant of defendant’s house had 20 day old information about smelling information and was stale. However, the government gets the benefit of the good faith exception because “the affidavit provided a ‘minimally sufficient nexus’ between the illegal activity at issue and 3825 Bonnacreek Drive.” The car, however, not so. Nothing was provided as to it. Denied as to the house; granted as to the car. United States v. Bender, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 188218 (M.D. Tenn. Oct. 30, 2019).*
