[\u00b6] But while those facts are frequent considerations, they are not required to prove an individual is an overnight guest.\u201d In addition, plaintiff said the state statute on knock-and-announce was violated, but that fails to apply as to guests instead of residents. Besides, state statute doesn\u2019t govern the Fourth Amendment and has nothing to do with standing. C.J. v. Blaquiere, 2024 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 118485 (S.D. Ga. July 5, 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defendant\u2019s stop was in July 2021 but he wasn\u2019t charged with felonies until October 2022. In the meantime, the video of the stop had been destroyed.
