How courts have described this case

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

  • finding a seizure of a weapon was not a protective sweep because the officer did not act as though he was conducting a protective sweep—he merely entered the home, seized guns, and stepped outside without making “any inspection of the rest of the premises”
  • where officer entered a trailer simply to collect contraband and then immediately left, search could not be upheld as a protective sweep
