How courts have described this case

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

• recognizing that the location of the arrest outside the dwelling is relevant to the issue of whether the officers could reasonably fear an attack by someone inside
• noting that once arrestee is in custody, he no longer poses a threat to the police
• holding that the officers’ awareness that the defendant could be dangerous and that he had a previous weapons conviction was not enough to justify the sweep because, once the defendant was in custody, “he no longer posed a threat to the police”
• applying the principle enunciated by the Court in Buie to the protective sweep of a residence when the defendant was arrested just outside the door of the residence
• upholding protective sweep despite the fact that girlfriend told police her boyfriend had left
• upholding a sweep inside the dwelling where the arrest was made outside
