Walt Disney World\u2019s fraud investigators received a call from American Express that a card was being used fraudulently there. Ultimately, WDW own investigators entered defendant\u2019s room without telling the police what they were doing and found access devices in plain view. Defendant hadn\u2019t yet been evicted at the time of the entry. The view of the room, however, immediately led to defendant being locked out. This was valid as a private search. United States v. Valdarnini, 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 122520 (M.D. Fla. July 16, 2018).<\/p>\n

There was a motion to suppress but not a Franks hearing; it was a hearing on whether there would be a Franks hearing. \u201cThe undersigned finds that there has been no showing that officers omitted facts with the intent to make, or in reckless disregard of whether they made, the affidavit misleading. In addition, if the omitted information was included in the affidavit, there still would have been probable cause to issue the warrant.\u201d United States v. Good, 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 122572 (D.
