Search and Seizure Manual 2024 Update
Product description:
2024 Update byDaniel Silberman and David Sherbo-Huggins, Oregon Public Defense Commission
More than 50 pages of updates.
Important New Cases on:
• warrantless searches and seizures
• officer-safety exception
• litigating motions to suppress
• testing whether property is "seized", and
• assessing Miranda violations
The updated manual will help you:
• identify whether your officer asked any improper questions during the stop
• utilize important limitations on the officer-safety exception
• pick apart a warrant involving attacks on the necessary "nexus" between the type of criminal activity and the location to be searched, and attacks on the "particularity" requirement for digital devices
• correctly litigate the "suppression" analysis
• analyze the legality of digital warrants
• help identify when/if the police have unlawfully converted a traffic stop into a criminal stop
without reasonable suspicion
• explore possible Miranda violations, assess whether your client was in "compelling circumstances" and whether the officer's conduct might constitute "interrogation."
This update includes previous updates since the manual's release in 2021 and will help you find answers to these questions:
• What is the “emergency aid” exception and how does it work?
• How long can police seize and retain property without a warrant?
• Does a strong odor of marijuana still constitute reasonable suspicion of a crime?
• Can police make a stop for failure to maintain a lane anytime the driver crosses over a lane line?
• When can police make a stop based on information provided to them by a non-law-enforcement witness or informant?
All that and much more can be found in the 2024 update to OCDLA’s Search and Seizure Manual.
