A postal worker’s information that defendant had lots of cash and was receiving packages that smelled like marijuana was probable cause for his house. State v. Middleton, 2024-Ohio-5172, 2024 Ohio App. LEXIS 3877 (7th Dist. Oct. 28, 2024).*

The use of a flashlight during a prison strip search doesn’t violate the Fourth Amendment. Smith v. McGinley, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 27239 (3d Cir. Oct. 28, 2024).*

It was objectively reasonable for the officer to fire his weapon when one was pointed at him. Naji v. City of Dearborn, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 27258 (6th Cir. Oct. 28, 2024).*

Not a Fourth Amendment case but interesting: The common law right of access to search warrant materials doesn’t apply to cooperation agreements. United States v. Kincaide, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 27259 (6th Cir. Oct. 28, 2024).*
