Search and Seizure Franks motions Even if the officer’s affidavit would have clarified that only one flake of marijuana was found in the defendant’s trash, the affidavit would still support probable cause for a search warrant. “McDuffy’s argument fails on the materiality prong of the Franks test, even if we assume for purposes of argument […]

10-2094 U.S. v. McBride
Search and Seizure Scope and duration Questions that added a couple minutes to the duration of a traffic stop did not unreasonably prolong the stop. “In their content and duration, Gasvoda’s questions are hard to distinguish from inquiries by officers under similar circumstances that we have upheld as reasonable.
