WA: Defendant’s testimony about gun essentially waived argument on appeal it was illegally seized

Under the category of “why move to suppress in the first place”: The trial court struck parts of the affidavit in support of the search warrant, and it still yielded probable cause. Admission at the trial of the shotgun seized was not even prejudicial here because the defendant testified to it trying mitigate guilt. State v. Martin, 169 Wn. App. 620, 281 P.3d 315 (2012).

Defendant’s guilty plea to felony shoplifting waived his search and seizure claim [which would have failed anyway]. Swilley v. State, 93 So. 3d 901 (Miss. App. 2012).*

Defendant was arrested for domestic battery and removed from the home. His girlfriend was packing his stuff and found a box with child porn in it which she turned over to the police. This was a classic private search. State v. Cameron, 2012 WI App 93, 344 Wis. 2d 101, 820 N.W.2d 433 (2012).*
