Cal.: Forgetting to take something under SW and getting another and coming back in days didn’t make it stale

Defendant’s alleged unlawful detention by the feds didn’t create a Fourth Amendment claim to suppress his statement to state officials while in custody. Police had at least four other ways to find defendant’s cell phone number, which they did to match it up, so the probable 2008 illegal search of the cell phone was not unconstitutional or unreasonable because of inevitable discovery. After the murder, the police conducted several searches with warrants. One three days later wasn’t stale. They didn’t get all they were looking for in the first warrant and came back with another. People v. Fayed, 2020 Cal. LEXIS 2090 (Apr. 2, 2020).

Failure to stop at a stop line is probable cause for a stop. State v. Posey, 303 Ore. App. 246, 2020 Ore. App. LEXIS 484 (Apr. 1, 2020).*
