How courts have described this case

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

• adding that “[p]roof of exigent circumstances should be supported by particularized, case-specific facts, not simply generalized suppositions about the behavior of a particular class of criminal suspects” (quotation marks omitted)
• finding probable cause from a tip that a drug transaction would occur, corroborated by a monitored acceptance by the suspect to complete the transaction
• finding that “[t]he police could reasonably conclude it was doubtful that [a call between defendant and cooperating witness] established probable cause” when “[a]t that time, [defendant] had not agreed to the transaction, and had indicated that he didn’t have the drugs with him”
• courier’s arrest and resultant failure to return to dealer can cause fear in police that dealer would be alerted to their investigation and would destroy evidence
• “There is no legal rule requiring the police to seek a warrant as soon as probable cause likely exists to seek a warrant.”
• “[A] subjective belief in one’s privacy is meaningless unless one can show that society would consider the belief reasonable”
