United States v. George Dean Martin

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that a delay after a \seizure is necessarily less intrusive where 'the owner has relinquished control 16 of the property to a third party'\ such as the United States Parcel Service (quoting Place , 462 U.S. at 705 and n.6)
• explaining that \even a seizure based on probable cause is unconstitutional if police act with unreasonable delay in securing a warrant\
• noting that an eleven-day delay that included two weekends and a holiday \could explain the difficulty in promptly obtaining the [search] warrant\
• noting that “even a seizure based on probable cause is unconstitutional if police act with unreasonable delay in securing a warrant.”
• finding a delay of 11 days, including two weekends and a Christmas holiday, to not be unreasonable
• upholding 11-day seizure given delays in ability to acquire warrant, the relinquishing of the container to the third-party United Parcel Service, and the interests at issue
