California Court of Appeal

In a case in which two defendants pled no contest to charges of burglary and grand theft, the trial court's ruling denying their motion to suppress evidence is reversed, where a warrantless entry and search of their hotel room was not justified by exigent circumstances, since no evidence indicated that the police officers had reason to fear the imminent destruction of evidence of a jailable offense.
