Filed June 16, 2004
Issues Petition for review after the Court of Appeal reversed a judgment of conviction of a criminal offense. This case presents the following issues: (1) Did exigent circumstances excuse police officers' failure to comply with the knock-notice rule before entering defendant's house to conduct a warrantless search for drugs pursuant to his condition of probation, where they had observed drug transactions at the house shortly before the entry and, seconds before entering, had detained an individual outside the house while loudly announcing their presence and purpose? (See United States v. Banks (2003) 540 U.S. ___, 124 S.Ct. 521, 157 L.Ed.2d 343.) (2) Can a violation of the knock-notice rule during a warrantless search of a house pursuant to a defendant's condition of probation be excused by the doctrine of inevitable discovery?
