State<\/a>, 375 Ark. 394, 291 S.W.3d 155 (2009).*<\/p>\n<p>Defendant&#8217;s custodial arrest for a traffic offense justified his search incident and search again on booking. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.state.il.us\/court\/Opinions\/AppellateCourt\/2009\/2ndDistrict\/February\/2060798.pdf\">People v. Taylor<\/a>, 388 Ill. App. 3d 169, 327 Ill. Dec. 630, 902 N.E.2d 751 (2009).*<\/p>\n<p>Officers lacked cause to stop the defendant who showed up at a loud party after the officers told them to quiet down, and they did. State v. Brown, 900 N.E.2d 820 (Ind. App. 2009).*<\/p>\n<p>Conversation with the defendant which was within the normal time of a traffic stop was reasonable. McKnight v. State, 296 Ga. App. 38, 673 S.E.2d 573 (2009).*<\/p>\n<p>There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in arrest warrants, which are public records. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.state.il.us\/court\/Opinions\/SupremeCourt\/2009\/February\/105457.pdf\">People v. Bailey<\/a>, 232 Ill. 2d 285, 903 N.E.2d 409 (2009):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It has long been held that the existence of an arrest warrant is a matter of public record. Gist v. Macon County Sheriff&#8217;s Department, 284 Ill. App. 3d 367, 377 (1996). Recent decisions continue to adhere to this principle. See People v. Harris, 228 Ill. 2d 222, 233 (2008); People v. Roberson, 367 Ill. App. 3d 193, 201 (2006). By definition, a person cannot have a reasonable expectation of privacy in public matters. Because a warrant check does not implicate any area of privacy, it is not a search under sections 12-603.1(f) and 108-1(3), and it is not prohibited by those provisions. Accordingly, a motion to suppress filed on this ground would not have been successful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>b2evALnk.b2WPAutP <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/?p=2941\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"pingsdone","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2941"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2941\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
