CA11: Even if warrantless monitoring of a package in def’s home violated 4A, inevitable discovery applies

Even if warrantless monitoring of a package into defendant’s house violated the Fourth Amendment, inevitable discovery applies. There was an intensive investigation and time was of the essence. The exclusionary rule should not be applied. United States v. Watkins, 2020 U.S. App. LEXIS 37794 (11th Cir. Dec. 3, 2020).

Defendant waived his challenge to the knock-and-talk by not fully addressing it. Observation of stolen ATVs on the curtilage was moot because it was covered by the search warrant. United States v. Ross, 2020 U.S. App. LEXIS 37793 (10th Cir. Dec. 3, 2020).
