An alert from Atlanta\u2019s automatic license plate recognition (LPR) system that the owner of a car had an arrest warrant justifies a stop. Defendant was found to have consented thereafter. Rodriguez v. State<\/a>, 321 Ga. App. 619, 746 S.E.2d 366 (2013).<\/p>\n

Officers had an anonymous complaint that people were smoking marijuana in an apartment, so they [apparently having nothing better do to with their time] decided to do a knock-and-talk. When the door was opened, a cloud of marijuana smoke came out. The police entered and found marijuana on the coffee table. The trial court suppressed because it clearly didn\u2019t like knock-and-talks, but the procedure is clearly constitutional. State v. Able<\/a>, 321 Ga. App. 632, 742 S.E.2d 149 (2013).*<\/p>\n

The adult half-sister of a mute and autistic girl who was suspected of being sexually abused by her grandfather had vicarious and implied authority to plant a video recorder in the bedroom to record the girl\u2019s interaction with others. Defendant clearly had a reasonable expectation of privacy in the bedroom he was using for Fourth Amendment purposes [not that this is anything but a private search; for REP is important for the eavesdropping statute] but vicarious consent is recognized under the eavesdropping statute. Commonwealth v. F.W.<\/a>, 465 Mass. 1, 986 N.E.2d 868 (2013).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
