There was probable cause for the search of defendant’s car. He also claimed that the car was searched before the warrant for it issued. Based on a drone video, defendant was Tasered, and an officer opened and closed the car door, making sure no one else was in it. The court credits that. [Besides, inevitable discovery.] State v. Scott, 2026 La. App. LEXIS 2081 (La. App. 5 Cir Oct. 7, 2026).*

“In the present case, there was uncontroverted testimony that before entering the apartment, North Olmsted police heard an individual say he was ‘tripping,’ that the individual asked for help, and that he requested an ambulance. There also was uncontroverted testimony that unlike in Fisher — and even though subjective belief is irrelevant — North Olmsted police summoned medical aid before entering the dwelling. Indeed, the uncontroverted testimony was that even with medical personnel on the scene, the officers continued to knock and announce themselves. It was not until officers heard a thud or thump, followed by silence, that they decided — in conjunction with medical personnel, no less — to make a warrantless entry.” Defense’s effort to minimize the “thud” doesn’t make the entry unreasonable.
