Factors to Determine Whether PC is required: magic words youre under arrest movement to a different location; the level of intrusion; the duration of the stop; the extent of the frisk/search o The Court essentially hold that any intrusion beyond a Terry Stop is an arrest. Probable case is required when the intrusion exceeds beyond a stop resulting from reasonable suspicion and for searches beyond frisks for weapons. -Dunaway v. New York (pp. 24-25) Although the police may have RS to conduct a Terry Stop, when the stop becomes a serious intrusion on personal liberty then the stop becomes a de-facto arrest and PC is required. -Florida v. Royer (p. 25) Police may order a driver from the car during a lawful traffic stop. Penn. v. Mimms (p. 25) Reasonable time for a Terry Stop o Along with degree of intrusion, courts also weigh duration. o No bright line rule. (40 min 16 hrs have been held permissible.) U.S. v.

Drayton (pp. 28-29 Seizures can occur in two ways: o application of physical force with lawful authority, or o Showing of authority. California v.

If the police have PC to search the car, then they may: Seize the car and apply for a warrant, Seize the car and search it later w/o a warrant, or Search the car immediately. o During a SITA search may only conduct search to protect officer safety, during Chambers search may search EVERYWHERE inc. trunk. Chambers v. Maroney (p. 35) Chambers doesnt apply in situations in which no exigency exists. Coolidge v. New Hamp. (p. 35) Automobile Exception applies to mobile homes parked in a public area are not fixed the ground. o Factors for analysis: its location whether the vehicle is readily mobile, its elevated on block, the vehicle is elevated on blocks, if its licensed, or whether it has convenient access to a public road.

If the police have PC for a container in the car, then they can search: (p. 37) o the container, BUT NOT the car in general o PC for the container does not create PC for the entire car. To search a container, the police need a warrant (limited by Acevedo) U.S. v. Chadwick (p. 37) If: Cops have PC to search a car for the container, and The search falls within the vehicle exception, and The cops come upon a container in the car, o Then the cops may open the container assuming it is big enough to hold the container.

Five Factors to determine if second statement is suppressed: -Missouri v. Seibert (pp. 65-66) The completeness and detail of the questions and answers in the first round of interrogation; The overlapping content of the two statements; The timing and setting of the first and second interrogations; The continuity of police personnel, and The degree to which the interrogators questions treated the second round as continuous with the first. o Applying test (3 steps): Determine whether law enforcement personnel deliberately employed the two-round interrogation strategy for the purpose of sidestepping Miranda: if no, then no Miranda violation if yes, go to next step Analyze the five Seibert factors (above): if the facts are more like Seibert than Elstad, then go to the next step if not, then no Miranda violation Determine whether the interrogator took any curative measures . if so, then statement may be admissible if not, then the statement is inadmissible Rules: o A Miranda violation is not a poisonous tree. o Un-Mirandized statements are excluded. (Elstad) o Fruits from the un-Mirandized statements are admissible. o Physical fruits are non testimonial. United States v. Patane (p. 67) Miranda warnings are required only where there has been such a restriction on a persons freedom as to render him in custody. -Oregon v. Mathiason (p. 68) Miranda becomes applicable as soon as a suspects freedom of action is curtailed to a degree associated with a formal arrest determine from the viewpoint of a reasonable man in the suspects position. o Factors suggesting a formal arrest: handcuffs, physical restraints, drawing of weapons, and saying youre under arrest -Beckemer v. McCarty (pp. 68-69) Miranda warnings are required when there is custody and interrogation. o Interrogation refers to: Express questioning, or Fundamental equivalent words or actions that are reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response. Rhode Island v. Innis (p. 69) Waiver may be found even in the absence of an explicit statement if the suspects words and actions implicitly constitute a decision to forgo his rights. (Implied Waiver) o To determine whether a suspects conduct constitutes a waiver, look at the TOC. Waiver must be voluntary, knowing, and intelligent. Government must show by the preponderance of the evidence. N.C. v. Butler (p. 71) A knowing and intelligent waiver of Miranda rights may be shown by a suspects conduct when he answers questions after the police give proper warnings. State v. Thornton (p. 71) A waiver of Miranda is to interrogation in general and not to interrogation about a particular crime. Colorado v. Spring (p. 71)
~9~
Invocation and waiver of Miranda rights must be personally done by the suspect. Moran v. Burbine (p. 71) A childs parent cannot waive the childs Miranda rights over the childs objection. State v. Johnson (p. 72) If prosecution seeks to introduce statements form a suspect who initially invoked his right to council, then the prosecution must demonstrate: o counsel was made available to the suspect (physical presence), or o the suspect himself initiated the further conversation, and o that a knowing, intelligent, voluntary waiver subsequently occurred. Edwards v. Arizona (p. 72) The police must scrupulously honor the right to silence, but they may still interrogate the suspect depending on the TOC. o Factors Supporting Allowing Subsequently Interrogation: different officer than original interrogation; different crime being investigated than original interrogation; time passes between the two interrogations; and suspect is re-Mirandized for the second interrogation. Michigan v. Mosley (p. 73) Initiation occurs when an inquiry from a suspect can be fairly said to represent a desire on the part of an accused to open up a more generalized discussion relating directly or indirectly to the investigation. Oregon v. Bradshaw (p. 73) Once the suspect has invoked his right to counsel, the police cannot re-initiate interrogation without the attorney present. Minnick v. Mississippi (p. 74) When a suspect is released from custody, an appropriate period of release will terminate the Edwards presumption. o An appropriate period is 14 days. Maryland v. Shatzer (p. 74)
