Defendant whose girlfriend\u2019s father bought car for her had standing to challenge the search of it when he was driving it. Under the LVMPD policy, there was a question for the police whether defendant was driving with permission of the owner, and that made the inventory reasonable. The car was stopped in a parking lot of a 24 hour bar. Here, though, the police had already inventoried the car, and then made the decision to call off the tow and impound because the owner was found, and he said he\u2019d come and get the car. The impoundment was not pretextual and was reasonable under LVMPD policy. United States v. Poblete, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 165527 (D. Nev. October 31, 2012).*<\/p>\n
A CI called probation to report that defendant was in possession of drugs. Police corroborated that, and a police officer and probation officer went to defendant\u2019s house to conduct a search. When they arrived, defendant fled into the house, and that was reasonable suspicion for the officers\u2019 entry into the house. A protective sweep was then possible [but hardly necessary at that point]. Evans v. State<\/a>, 2012 Ga.
