United States Sixth Circuit
US v. WILLIAMS, 02-5001, 02-5002, 02-5003
Neither exigent circumstances nor the private search doctrine justified Government Agents' search of a residence without a warrant. Suppression of the product of this Fourth Amendment violation is proper only with respect to defendant whose rights were violated by the search itself, not to defendants who were aggrieved by the introduction of damaging evidence.
