However, wanting to show himself worthy of working on his own, Officer Curtis decides to handle the call completely by himself. He calls for no help. He locks the driver’s car up, and takes the drunk to the station for booking. The next day, the Chief has you, Officer Curtis’ sergeant in his office. Apparently, the drunk was a rich businessman and friend of the Chief. The drunk’s/businessman’s car was stolen and found in a quarry, minus $10,000 in cash he had yet to deposit and a gun he legally possessed. You are ordered to counsel Officer Curtis on inventory searches. Specifically you are to tell him why they are reasonable, why he doesn’t need probable cause, and for what purposes he should be doing them for. Make sure explain inventory searches in light of Officer Curtis’ actions.

Officer Newland issued a ticket, but just after giving it to Rutledge he asked him if he had any drugs. He also asked him if he was a dealer or knows any dealers. Rutledge denied everything, but allowed Officer Newland to search his car. Officer Newland found a small joint, which Rutledge forgot about. He arrests Rutledge and takes him to the station. Without reading Rutledge his rights, Officer Newland begins to question Rutledge, and Rutledge confesses he is a dealer and tells the officers where they can find his drugs. The officers get a search warrant and find Marijuana, Heroin, and Cocaine, at barn Rutledge rents. Rutledge’s attorney makes a motion to suppress all evidence, due to Officer Newland’s failure to read Miranda, starting from the questions at the traffic stop to the interrogation at the station. How will you rule if you are the judge? Make sure you discuss the circumstances when Miranda is required and when it is not, in light of this scenario.
