OH3: Driving wrong way on a one-way street is RS

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

Independent source doctrine permitted search of defendant's house. Nearly all factors showed consent. Even search of basement was unlawful, the independent source doctrine permitted search of the rest of the house. United States v. Price, 2009 U.S. App. LEXIS 4128 (3d Cir. March 3, 2009).* Defendant did not show that the search at issue was without his consent, so his lawyer was not ineffective. Nelson v. United States, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 16196 (E.D. Cal. February 11, 2009).* Driving the wrong way on a one way street and stopping for no apparent reason [perhaps because the defendant discovered he was going the wrong way] was reasonable suspicion for a stop. State v. Vlachos, 2009 Ohio 915, 2009 Ohio App. LEXIS 754 (3d Dist. March 2, 2009)...continue to full post
