CO: Drunk driving tip line report was not anonymous

A report through a drunk driving tip line was not anonymous. Even if it were, the officer developed reasonable suspicion before the stop. People v. Dacus, 2024 CO 51, 2024 Colo. LEXIS 565 (June 24, 2024).*

Defendant’s arrest on a warrant for violation of supervised release was justified. He showed up on a particular Greyhound bus he was expected to be on allegedly with drugs. United States v. Singletary, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 124141 (W.D.N.Y. July 15, 2024).*

“The law enforcement officers, under these circumstances, had a reasonable basis for believing that Defendant consented to the search of his home. Defendant took multiple affirmative steps—such as requesting that his handcuffs be covered when he entered the apartment, providing law enforcement officers with details about the layout of the apartment and where the contraband was located, and assisting the officers open the safe in his bedroom—which clearly establish that his consent to search his home was voluntary. The Court holds that the government has met its burden of proving, by a preponderance of the evidence, that Defendant voluntarily provided consent to search his home.” United States v. Gallimore, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 124462 (S.D.N.Y. July 15, 2024).*
