You get her on the phone. Does that count as consent to enter? It can, but you need to verify who you're talking to and confirm they have authority to consent. Ask for the last four of their SSN. And keep them on the line as you go room to room. That's what protects your consent if it ever gets challenged. Full episode with Anthony Bandiero and Mike Boone on YouTube — @BluetoGold #LawEnforcement #FourthAmendment #PoliceTraining #SearchAndSeizure #AnimalWelfare
You have a court order to check on animals at a home. The owner isn't on scene.
An officer asked: We had an ex parte order to check on animals at a home, but the owner wasn't present. We reached her by phone and walked her through each step as we entered. Does phone consent count — and how do you handle consent when the person can't be there in person? This episode features Anthony Bandiero and Mike Boone breaking down a real field scenario submitted by an officer in Maine during a live Q&A session. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: 📌 Why an ex parte court order does not automatically authorize entry into a home — and why consent or a search warrant is still required when the order doesn't specify entry 📌 Why phone consent is legally valid as long as you can establish the caller's identity and authority — and why asking for the last four digits of their social security number is a smart documentation move 📌 How keeping a homeowner on the phone throughout a search protects your consent by giving them a continuous opportunity to revoke or modify it Have a search and seizure question in mind?

EP#1032 Can Officers Get Consent to Search a Home Over the Phone?
Most officers assume the Fourth Amendment doesn't apply when a supervisor searches a coworker's desk. They're wrong — and that misunderstanding can blow up a disciplinary case. Anthony Bandiero breaks down when government workplace searches implicate the Fourth Amendment, when they don't, and how to conduct them without getting burned. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: 📌 Why public employees have stronger Fourth Amendment protections than private-sector workers — and how O'Connor v. Ortega defines the two-step test for lawful workplace searches 📌 How the special needs doctrine allows government employers to conduct suspicionless searches — and what City of Ontario v. Quon says about searching agency-issued devices 📌 Why posting a search policy doesn't eliminate an employee's privacy rights, but can significantly reduce them — and how consent, scope, and standing all factor into your legal authority 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱: 📌 Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967) — established the reasonable expectation of privacy standard under the Fourth Amendment 📌 United States v. Jones, 565 U.S. 400 (2012) — GPS tracker attached to a vehicle constitutes a Fourth Amendment trespass search 📌 O'Connor v. Ortega, 480 U.S. 709 (1987) — public employers may search employee workspaces without a warrant when reasonable at inception and limited in scope 📌 City of Ontario v. Quon, 560 U.S. 746 (2010) — employer search of agency-issued pager upheld as reasonable work-related search 📌 Camara v. Municipal Court, 387 U.S. 523 (1967) — helped establish the special needs doctrine for administrative inspections 📌 Skinner v. Railway Labor Executives' Ass'n, 489 U.S. 602 (1989) — suspicionless drug testing of federal railway employees upheld under special needs doctrine 0:00 - Introduction & Legal Framework Overview 5:23 - What Counts as a Search: Privacy vs. Trespass 10:49 - The Two-Step Reasonableness Test & Standing 15:24 - Consent Searches: Voluntary, Authority & Scope 20:09 - Recognized Exceptions & the Special Needs Doctrine 24:59 - Camara v. Municipal Court & Administrative Inspection Warrants 25:30 - O'Connor v. Ortega: The Seminal Workplace Search Case 29:59 - City of Ontario v.

WEBINAR: Government Employee Searches with Atty. Anthony Bandiero
An officer asked: We knock on a door to serve a misdemeanor bench warrant. The suspect doesn't answer, but my partner sees him standing inside through the window. Do we have to wait for him to come out, or can we go in and get him? This episode features Anthony Bandiero and Detective Sean Thompson breaking down a real field scenario submitted by an officer in Rhode Island during a live Q&A session. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: 📌 Why Payton v. New York authorizes officers to serve an arrest warrant at a suspect's own domicile without a search warrant — as long as you have reason to believe they're home 📌 Why your state's code of criminal procedure matters as much as federal case law — and why restrictions on misdemeanor warrant service vary significantly by jurisdiction 📌 What a body warrant is, why it's a smart tactical move for misdemeanor warrant service, and why it provides judicial cover that protects both officers and agencies 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱: 📌 Payton v. New York, 445 U.S. 573 (1980) — an arrest warrant authorizes entry into a suspect's own home to execute the arrest when officers have reason to believe the suspect is present Have a search and seizure question in mind?

EP#1031 Can Officers Enter a Home to Arrest Someone on a Misdemeanor Warrant?
Your partner spots him standing inside through the window. Now what? Payton v. New York says an arrest warrant is enough to enter a suspect's own home — as long as you have reason to believe they're inside. But your state's code of criminal procedure may restrict that for misdemeanors. A body warrant is the cleanest move. Full episode with Anthony Bandiero and Detective Sean Thompson on YouTube — @BluetoGold #LawEnforcement #ArrestWarrant #FourthAmendment #MisdemeanorWarrant #PoliceTraining
Suspect has a bench warrant. You knock. He doesn't answer.
Only as far as they did. Jacobson gives you that, nothing more. Unsearched zippers require a warrant or that evidence walks. Full episode with Anthony Bandiero and Detective Sean Thompson on YouTube → @BluetoGold #LawEnforcement #FourthAmendment #SearchAndSeizure #PoliceTraining #LEO
