Appellate Opinions Released February 22, 2007

The Wisconsin Supreme Court released its opinion in State v. Bruski today. The Court ruled that a person who is passed out in another person's car has no expectation of privacy with respect to items in the car, or the contents of a travel case located in the car. Thus, the warrantless search of the travel case, which revealed drug paraphernalia, did not need to be suppressed.

The Wisconsin Court of Appeals neither released any opinions nor certified any questions today.
