Defendant was stopped for DUI by an off-duty narc. He conducted a search of the car finding MDMA. The stop and search were valid as a private search. In addition, if an on-duty LEO had stopped the car, that officer could have searched the passenger compartment incident to the arrest for the cause of the DUI. State v. Common<\/a>, 78 So. 3d 237 (La. App. 5th Cir. 2011).*<\/p>\n

An anonymous CI provided sufficient predictive detail to justify the stop of defendant\u2019s car with reasonable suspicion when defendant showed up in the car described at the time given. State v. Leonard<\/a>, 80 So. 3d 535 (La. App. 5th Cir. 2011)*:<\/p>\n

Further, the source correctly predicted the specific place and time, within ten minutes, that the suspect would arrive with contraband. The source was able to describe the vehicle defendant would be driving \u2013 a black, four-door vehicle. As the detectives surveyed the situation, they corroborated the source’s information when they observed a man, fitting the description of the suspect, drive up to the expected location in a vehicle that matched the description of the suspect’s vehicle within the specified time frame. As such, we find that the trial judge did not err in implicitly finding that the detectives possessed reasonable suspicion to justify the investigatory stop.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Officers were in the house of another to conduct a parole arrest, and they encountered the defendant who was there. He was handcuffed for safety reasons and told that and that he was not under arrest. Then defendant admitted to possessing contraband. State v. Jones<\/a>, 78 So. 3d 274 (La. App. 5th Cir. 2011).*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
