How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- reversing the denial of the defendant’s motion to suppress because the defendant’s vehicle was unconnected to the arrest and was legally parked, and the police made no effort whatsoever to determine whether the defendant could make alternative arrangements to have the vehicle moved
- defendant arrested for consuming alcohol in a park, while standing outside vehicle
- same, and noting that although defendant ultimately may have been unable to make alternate arrangements for his vehicle, \the crucial fact ... is that the arresting officer made absolutely no effort to explore the possible alternatives\
- discussing search and seizure generally, not indicating specific constitutional provisions
- “It is well established that a police seizure and inventory is not dependent for its validity upon the absolute necessity for the police to take charge of property to preserve it. They are permitted to take charge of property under broader circumstances than that.”
