A parolee was stopped and subjected to a search under California law mandating that all parolees are subject to search. All the officer had to know was that the defendant was on parole, which the district court found. United States v. Akin, 213 Fed. Appx. 606 (9th Cir. 2006)* (unpublished):<\/p>\n
n. 2. The search-and-seizure condition is mandatory for every prisoner eligible for release on state parole in California. See Cal. Penal Code \u00a7 3067(a) (West 2000); Samson,<\/em> 126 S. Ct. at 2196. Thus, Samson does not hold that a police officer must be familiar with the parolee’s particular conditions of release in order to execute a search. We address the issue of Rodriquez’s awareness here, however, because it is conceivable that Akin would not be subject to the mandatory condition if he were paroled prior to January 1, 1997, the date this provision became effective. See Cal. Penal Code \u00a7 3067(c) (West 2000).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
