WI: Resident called 911 because of blood in garage; search that found body was reasonable under emergency aid exception

Another resident of the home called 911 because of a large amount of blood in the garage. They arrived and looked for the source, finding a body. Defendant was ultimately arrested. Although Caniglia v. Strom was decided after the briefs were in, the court concludes the emergency aid exception applied to the report of blood and the search. State v. Ware, 2021 Wisc. App. LEXIS 999 (Nov. 4, 2021).

A tinted cover on a license plate that obscures the number justifies a stop. United States v. Lemons, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 212946 (E.D.Tenn. Nov. 4, 2021).*

A sworn statement from the CI was sufficiently corroborated to support issuance of this warrant. People v. Patterson, 2021 NY Slip Op 06010, 2021 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 6059 (3d Dept. Nov. 4, 2021).*
