U.S. v. White

Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s motion to suppress gun found by police in defendant’s bag located in car of defendant’s cousin, even though police lacked warrant to search said bag. At time of search, warrant had been issued for defendant’s alleged parole violation, and defendant had previously agreed in writing to consent to search of his property as condition of his supervised release. Moreover, because of his status as parolee, defendant’s expectations of privacy were so diminished that instant warrantless search was reasonable under 4th Amendment.
