    Are Inventory Searches Dead? State v. Sanders Breakdown

    Are Inventory Searches Dead? State v. Sanders Breakdown

    The New Mexico Court of Appeals significantly restricted the inventory exception in the recent case of State v. Sanders, NO. A-1-CA-40287. Applying New Mexico's far more expansive rights to automobiles and now inventory searches, the court has limited officers to inventory of items in plain view. In this episode of the podcast I breakdown the case and discuss some other related topics.

Excellent Podcast

I just finished listening to all of Erik’s podcasts to date. They are truly excellent. He explains things in a clear, easily understood manner. I especially enjoyed his courtroom testimony tips and his explanation of the difference between consensual encounters and seizures. His podcasts are a must for law enforcement.
