Higgenbottom v. Noreen

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the warrant was invalid because it did not tend to establish that the basis for the warrant — membership in Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club — was an illegal activity
• upholding trial court finding that even if the limitation on the number of officers who could search was a valid qualification, by allowing entry of all the officers without protest, defendant had revoked his qualification.
• without more, membership in Hell's Angels does not establish probable cause that defendant was involved in criminal activity
• by allowing search “without protest” after having given at least partial consent to search, defendant “revoked” any prior qualification of the scope of consent
• membership in Hell’s Angels without a link to actual criminal activity insufficient to support a finding of probable cause to issue a search warrant
• “We are unpersuaded that a consent search may be validly qualified by the number of officers allowed to search, and we so hold.”
