OH5: 911 hang-up call is treated as presumptively an emergency until shown otherwise

In Ohio, a 911 hang-up call is treated as presumptively an emergency until shown otherwise. State v. Walter, 2020-Ohio-6772, 2020 Ohio App. LEXIS 4622 (5th Dist. Dec. 17, 2020).

A police officer’s property was searched under a warrant. The warrant was for his vehicle, but, at the scene of the search, the officers had probable cause to believe his wife’s car was searchable too. Therefore, the Fourth Amendment was not violated, and summary judgment was properly granted. Also, his detention during execution of the warrant was reasonable. Cronin v. Peterson, 2020 U.S. App. LEXIS 39752 (8th Cir. Dec. 18, 2020).*
