AR: Arrest warrant permitted entry into motel room where defendant lived

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

Arrest warrant for defendant’s boyfriend permitted police to enter the motel room they were living in when the officers had current and reliable information they were staying there. Webb v. State, 2010 Ark. App. 373, 2010 Ark. App. LEXIS 406 (May 5, 2010)* [Court cites Fourteenth Amendment, not Fourth Amendment.] The grand jury subpoena in this case was hardly used to conduct a search and seizure or violate due process. Voluntary surrender of the documents was permitted and done before the appearance. United States v. Mower, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 43966 (D. Utah April 27, 2010).* Once blood is taken under the implied consent law, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in it. Harrison v. Comm'r of Pub. Safety, 2010 Minn. App. LEXIS 66 (May 4, 2010)...continue to full post
