United States Ninth Circuit
Patel v. City of Los Angeles, 08-56567
In an action challenging Los Angeles Municipal Code section 41.49, which authorized on-site inspections of hotel guest records by any police officer, judgment in favor of defendant-city is reversed by the en banc court and remanded, where section 41.49's warrantless inspection provision was facially invalid under the Fourth Amendment insofar as it authorized inspections of the records without affording an opportunity to obtain prior judicial review.
