LA4: No standing to contest search of house defendant fled into from an attempted arrest

When defendant was stopped, he fled on foot into a “gutted and abandoned house” with the arresting officer and backup in pursuit. He had no reasonable expectation of privacy in the house of another he fled into. State v. Dowdell, 99 So. 3d 1015 (La. App. 4 Cir. 2012).

Defendant’s stop for a broken taillight led to smell of marijuana coming from the passenger compartment and defendant’s valid arrest. State v. Long, 2012 Tenn. Crim. App. LEXIS 642 (August 22, 2012).*

Defendant’s car was stopped with probable cause of a traffic offense or reasonable suspicion, and search of the car was found to be by consent. United States v. Brown, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 120847 (D. S.C. August 27, 2012).*
