WA: Warning of right to refuse consent does not apply to a shed near home

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

The state right to warnings before a consent entry of a home does not apply to a shed near the home. State v. Overholt, 2008 Wash. App. LEXIS 2445 (October 14, 2008).* Sixth Amendment right of confrontation does not apply at suppression hearings. State v. Rivera, 2008 NMSC 56, 2008 N.M. LEXIS 520 (September 9, 2008).* While the issue was close, the court finds reasonable suspicion from a informant's tip because it showed first hand knowledge without an apparent motive to lie. United States v. William, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 81295 (D. V.I. October 10, 2008).*
