  • Are Inventory Searches Dead? State v. Sanders Breakdown

    Are Inventory Searches Dead? State v. Sanders Breakdown
    Feb 1 2024
    The New Mexico Court of Appeals significantly restricted the inventory exception in the recent case of State v. Sanders, NO. A-1-CA-40287. Applying New Mexico's far more expansive rights to automobiles and now inventory searches, the court has limited officers to inventory of items in plain view. In this episode of the podcast I breakdown the case and discuss some other related topics.
