SEARCH AND SEIZURE- Recent Connecticut Supreme Court and U.S. Supreme Court Decisions

Did you know that according to the U.S. Supreme Court, negligent acts by the police will not automatically trigger the exclusionary rule?  Or a police officer may enter a house without a warrant when they have an objectively reasonable basis for believing that an occupant is seriously injured or imminently threatened with such injury?

Did you know that according to the Connecticut Supreme Court, officers can intentionally leave out what officers believe to be immaterial or unsubstantiated facts in their affidavit for a search warrant, so long as there is factual basis to establish probable cause?  Or that in Connecticut there is a unique statute known as the Gun Seizure Warrant which allows the officer to seize defendant's guns even without charging the defendant with a crime?

This workshop is designed to familiarize law enforcers on the effects of recent Connecticut and U.S. Supreme Court decisions on search and seizure.  Attorneys, educators, and other professionals will also benefit from this workshop.  Non-state applicants are more than welcome to join as well, to learn how recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions on the 4th Amendment may affect their jurisdiction.  To learn more about the Supreme Court decisions above, and other relevant decisions regarding search and seizure, join us in this three-day workshop.
