		<description><![CDATA[Kentucky V. King: Warrantless Entry into Residence Reasonable When Exigent Circumstances Exist That Were Not Created By Police

By: Houston Criminal Lawyer John Floyd and Billy Sinclair

The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution has historically protected Americans from unreasonable searches and seizures by law enforcement officials. The Fourth Amendment applies to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment has two long recognized clauses: First, the prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures; and, second, the requirement that probable cause be established before a search warrant is issued. There are “exigent circumstances” to these two constitutional requirements which allows law enforcement officials to conduct warrantless searches when 1) there is possible imminent destruction of evidence; 2) a real threat to the safety of the general public or law enforcement officials exist; 3) the police are in “hot pursuit” of a suspect; or 4) there is a likelihood that a suspect will flee before law enforcement can obtain a warrant.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Arizona v. Gant, 129 S.Ct. 1710, (2009); Vehicle Searches after Arrest

By: Houston Criminal Attorney John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair

Consider the following hypothetical. Two patrol officers with the Houston Police Department were following a Cadillac in an area known for gang and drug activity. Loud music was coming from the vehicle as it swerved several times from lane to lane. The officers decided to stop the vehicle for failure to maintain a single lane of traffic. In Texas, a law enforcement officer may lawfully stop a person for a traffic law violation. 1/]]></description>
