U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 00-2889
Western District of Missouri
Criminal case - criminal law. Where officers work together on an
investigation, the collective knowledge theory imputes the knowledge
of one officer to others to uphold an otherwise invalid search;
because deputy who performed the search was privy to the consent
given to another deputy, his search of defendant's truck was valid;
dissent by United States District Judge Alsop.
