U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-2770
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport
[PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Chief District Judge, Author, with Smith and
Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal Case - suppression - supervised release conditions. Even though
information about defendant's prior child pornography conviction and his
use of computer to purchase or download images was several years old when
search warrant was issued, the information was sufficient to establish
probable cause and the district court did not err in denying motion to
suppress. Even if probable cause was lacking, the Leon good faith
exception applies. The district court did not abuse its discretion in
imposing a condition of supervised release that prohibits defendant from
possessing a camera or video recording device or a computer without prior
approval of the probation officer, as the condition was not a total ban
and defendant did more than possess child pornography.
