Question

Police in Tustin receive an anonymous tip about "drug activity" at a house. A narcotics detective monitors the house over several days, and after seeing some occasional foot traffic in and out of the home, he suspects something might be up. After watching the house for a total of about three hours over a week, he decides to stop the next person to walk out and ask him some questions. He stops the man in a nearby parking lot, asks for identification and has a dispatcher run a warrant check. The check shows that there was an outstanding warrant for a traffic violation. The officer arrests the man, searches him and finds a baggie with meth and drug paraphernalia in his pockets. The man is charged with several drug-related offenses.

1. What will the defense argue about EACH encounter to argue it was unlawful?

2. What will the prosecution argue about EACH encounter to support it was legal?

3. Do you believe the encounter was lawful? Explain why or why not.
