Ind. Courts - Court of Appeals holds oral arguments in Valpo and Evansville
As the ILB reported here on March 15, the Indiana Court of Appeals is holding oral arguments this morning (March 23rd) at Valparaiso Law School in, as the Chesterton Tribune reported, "the case of a man accused of road rage in a crash which killed two people in Indianapolis."
Next Thursday, March 29th, according to this press release from the Court:
The Indiana Court of Appeals will hold oral argument in the case Sergio Campos v. State of Indiana on Thursday, March 29th at 2:00 p.m. CT at the University of Southern Indiana's Health Professions Center Mitchell Auditorium. A three-member panel of Judge Melissa S. May, Judge Nancy H. Vaidik, and Judge Michael P. Barnes will hear the case on appeal from Lake Superior Court.The Court is asked to decide several questions regarding procedure and constitutional law in this search and seizure case. Among the questions the Court will examine are whether a passenger who does not own the car in which he is stopped has standing to challenge a police search that uncovers drugs he owns; whether police, after completing a traffic stop for speeding, may then tell a driver a search of his car is “necessary” when no additional evidence of a crime is apparent; and whether police officers may secretly record conversations between people waiting in a police car when they have not been given their Miranda warnings that they have a right to remain silent.
