66 ma'am can I give you PS hello hey uh so we checked the residence for him she gave us consent to come in and have a walk around he's not in here but we have other issues I don't know which how you want to handle it but there's uh in her bedroom there's paraphernalia in Plain View there's burnt foil all over the bed there's a meth pipe laying on the floor um she's got a small child in here obviously the other kids over at the school so I have more just inside the residence kind of hole in the first floor having mom and the baby stay in the living room see what you wanna do but we don't think they're selling or anything like that I doubt they're selling they look like if anything they just use so if anything's in there if anything's in there it'd be personal amount personal use but I mean like what are you gonna do with these kids she's got freaking meth pipe and foil just laying on the bed and she's got a toddler in here and then she's got like an 11 12 year old over at the school how it's like is a toddler walking around or all that stuff yeah like probably two or maybe three she's old enough to talk and walk around and do her own thing she can go up that bedroom right now and grab that knife like just laying on the floor the apartment's disgusting there's I'm pretty sure there's bed bugs hopping around everywhere in there it's nasty it's filthy in there so and no directions please no drugs in Plain View I wasn't gonna like start microscoping we were in there obviously looking for Zach right this stuff I at least make a referral do you think you have enough for endangering not with just burnt foil and the pipe unless there's something in the pipe and we if we pick it up and there's still shit left over in the pipe that'd be different but I would say take what you have in Plain View because you have a right to take that and charge her with the paraphernalia OK and then make a referral to Children Services alright alright we'll question her on it too we'll question her to see if she admits that there's any drugs in there alright alright thanks bye bye we went in to look for him and she's got meth pipe and burnt foil laying all over her bedroom so she was probably up there smoking it when that's why she didn't answer she said she was in the shower okay because then she wouldn't come to the door she's like I don't wanna come I can't find my teeth I don't wanna come it's embarrassing it's like well I'm not bringing your kid back until you come and talk to us and then her teeth are laying right up there by the nightstand with the meth pipe and the burnt foil is we're gonna go gather that up we're gonna see if she'll admit that there's any drugs in the house we're gonna charge her with paraphernalia at the least and then we'll make a referral to the judge so give me donut mmm donut alright what is it Alyssa yes Alyssa Alyssa yes sir alright here's the deal is there any drugs in this apartment no there's some foils up on my bed I

1,973 voluntary consent is a recognized exception to the warrant requirement voluntariness is judged by totality of circumstances consent given freely without coercion and while not in custody is constitutionally valid and eliminates the need for a warrant Plain View doctrine Horton v California 1,990 officers lawfully present may seize evidence without a warrant when three conditions are met first officer is lawfully present second item is in Plain View third incriminating character is immediately apparent a meth pipe and burnt foil visible on the bedroom floor satisfy all three elements scope of consent is legally bounded Florida v Himeno 1,991 consent extends only to areas consistent with the stated purpose officers authorized to search for a person may not open containers or conduct a general evidentiary search seizure must be limited strictly to items in open unobstructed view Miranda v Arizona 1,966 Miranda warnings are required only upon custodial interrogation a

outcome and key lessons felony possession was reduced to misdemeanor under Ohio Revised Code Section 2,951.041 Drug Court diversion child endangering charge was dismissed by plea not by judicial finding of safety lesson 1 a plea dismissal is a negotiated resolution not an exoneration the factual and legal basis for the charge remains sound lesson 2 officers must administer Miranda warnings as soon as probable cause crystallizes before the subject makes self incriminating statements lesson 3 consent search scope must be strictly observed any expansion beyond the stated purpose without additional authorization creates a Fourth Amendment violation and grounds for suppression
