The Case of the Ducky Deal

The Case of the Ducky Deal

BB2018-13  United States v. Flores (1st Circuit 25 April 2018)

This is a case about a tip that turns into a warrantless arrest outside of the hotel in Brunswick Maine that evolves into a warrantless search of the hotel room followed by a warrant application and a subsequent search pursuant to the warrant. The Fourth Amendment dominoes did not quite line up in this case, but because there was probable cause to arrest and the Independent Source Doctrine, the case was saved for the prosecution.
