   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-2086
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Western   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Erickson and Kobes, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. Considering the totality of the circumstances, the police officers' conduct would not have communicated to a reasonable person that he was not free to decline the officers' requests or otherwise terminate the encounter, and defendant's initial encounter with police at a car wash was consensual and did not violate defendant's Fourth Amendment rights; nor did the officers violate defendant's Fifth Amendment rights during the first encounter, and defendant's statements were admissible; once police seized drugs from the driver of defendant's car, they had reasonable suspicion to seize the car to await a drug dog sniff, and the drug dog's alert gave officers probable cause to search the car and seize the drugs and cell phone they found.
