U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-2448
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith and Bowman, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. District court erred in suppressing
evidence seized during a search of defendant's person in the police
precinct parking lot; police had probable cause to believe defendant had
something hidden in his pants, and the scope, manner and location of the
search they conducted was reasonable, even if it did involve some contact
with his genitals; fact that search took place in the parking lot did not
cause an unreasonable invasion of defendant's personal rights.
