detailed answers
|| ||
Items that may be seized pursuant to a valid warrant - ✔✔Anything described in the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
warrant.
Authority and scope of search warrants regarding electronic devices and cell phones -
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
✔✔An officer must have either consent or a search warrant to conduct a search of cell
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
phones, electronic tablets, or any computer. Search incident to an arrest of a personal
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
electronic device like a cell phone is not allowed. || || || || || || || ||
When a valid consent search can be made and what can be searched - ✔✔Consent searches
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
are when reasonable provided consent is given by someone who appears to have authority
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
to do so and if it is given voluntarily. A person usually has authority to consent to a search
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
of any place to which he or she has a lawful right of access.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Circumstances regarding 3rd party consent searches - ✔✔Parents can generally give || || || || || || || || || || ||
consent to a search of their minor children's property, but young children cannot allow a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
search of their parents' property. || || || ||
Issues for conducting searches during a traffic stop - ✔✔A traffic stop is considered a Terry
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
stop, and the rules related to these stops generally apply. The rules are different for a traffic
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
stop and a Terry stop. Law enforcement needs reasonable suspicion of an infraction or
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
violation to make a lawful traffic stop. || || || || || ||
When a consent search must be terminated - ✔✔When consent is revoked by the person
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
who gave the consent initially.
|| || || ||
,2
Compare "open view" to "plain view" and how it relates to search and seizure law. -
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
✔✔Open View - Open view means an area where there is no expectation of privacy from
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
visual intrusion. It is reasonable to expect that other people including government agents
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
will look into that area.
|| || || ||
Plain View - The plain view doctrine allows officers to seize any evidence or contraband in
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
plain view if the officers have the right of access to the place where the contraband is
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
located.
Authority and limitations of a search incident to arrest as it relates to searches of persons,
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
vehicles, and residences. - ✔✔If a person is arrested in an automobile or immediately after
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
having exited an automobile, the search incident to arrest includes the lunge area while the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
person was in the automobile, provided the officer has either a legitimate safety concern or
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the officer has reason to believe there might be evidence in the car that supports the arrest.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Automobile exception to the warrant requirement, aka the Carroll Doctrine, and describe
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
the permissible scope of a search under this doctrine. - ✔✔The automobile exception
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
applies not only to automobiles, but also boats, airplanes or any movable vehicle. The
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
"mobility" of the automobile, the possibility of moving out of the jurisdiction, justifies a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
warrantless search. Probable cause is required but proof of exigent circumstances is not.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
Inventory exception to the warrant requirement. - ✔✔An inventory of the contents of an
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
automobile may be done if the automobile is legally impounded. An inventory indicates
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
that the items in the car are inventoried to protect the officer from claims of theft, to protect
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the automobile owner's property and to protect the integrity of the impound area.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
Authority to make a warrantless entry to a residence based on exigent circumstances (hot
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
pursuit). - ✔✔Pursuit - Hot Pursuit: Used when an officer has probable cause to believe a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
fleeing subject has committed a felony or is destroying evidence and the officer enters the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
home without a warrant if he or she has probable cause to believe the subject is in the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
home.
,2
Compare "open fields" to curtilage where the 4th amendment does apply. - ✔✔Open Fields
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
- The Supreme Court held that the Fourth Amendment did not protect "open fields" and
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
that, therefore, law enforcement searches in such areas as pastures, wooded areas, open
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
water, and vacant lots need not comply with the requirements of warrants and probable
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
cause.
Curtilage - Curtilage includes the area immediately surrounding a dwelling, and it counts as
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
part of the home for many legal purposes, including searches and many self-defense laws.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Authority and scope of searches under special circumstances including abandoned property
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
and garbage. - ✔✔Abandoned Property - This is another exception which is not really a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
search. A scrap of paper thrown on the ground is abandoned and may be seized.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Dog Sniffs - Canine sniffs of vehicles are not a search within the meaning of the Fourth
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Amendment. But detaining a person/vehicle to accommodate the sniff does implicate the || || || || || || || || || || || ||
amendment.
Requirements for conducting a search of a physically disabled person (Wis. Stats. 968.256). - || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
✔✔A "physically disabled person" in this statute means a person who requires an assistive
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
device for mobility, including, but not limited to, a wheelchair, brace, crutch, or artificial
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
limb.
Strip search and the requirements for conducting a strip search (Wis. Stats. 968.255). -
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
✔✔Strip Searches - a search in which a detained person's genitals, pubic area, buttock or
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
anus, or a detained female's breast, is uncovered and either is exposed to view or is touched
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
by a person conducting a search.
|| || || || ||

7 steps of the crisis cycle - ✔✔- Normal State
