062030P.pdf 12/20/2006 United States v. Elijah I. Jones
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-2030
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Bye and Bowman, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - criminal law. Since the federal agents involved in the
search were participating in their role as permanent members of a Kansas
City Police drug task force, Rule 41 did not apply, and the warrant in
this case did not have to be issued by a federal magistrate; affidavits
established probable cause for a search of defendant's home; protective
sweep of defendant's vehicle was lawful; any error in seizing documents
in the vehicle which were not described in a subsequently-issued warrant
was harmless.
