Justices: Houseguest Couldn’t Consent To Home Search
Jennifer Nelson for www.theindianalawyer.com
The Indiana Supreme Court held Thursday that a houseguest at a home in which police discovered drugs did not have the apparent authority to consent to a search of the house.
Police believed there was drug activity from an Indianapolis home and on one occasion saw Bryant Beatty and Timmie Bradley enter the home. On a later date, police saw Beatty knock on the door of the home and gain entrance. A few minutes later, police knocked on the door and Beatty answered. Police later testified at Bradley’s drug trial that they didn’t know who owned the home. Beatty allowed police in the house, where they did a protective sweep after finding other people inside and discovered drugs and paraphernalia in plain sight.
Bradley, the homeowner, arrived during the search. Police found cocaine and a large amount of cash on him. He was charged with various drug crimes and convicted of Class A felony dealing in cocaine, Class C felony possession of cocaine and a firearm, Class C felony possession of cocaine, and Class A misdemeanor possession of marijuana. Bradley had filed a motion to suppress all evidence seized as a result of the police search of his home without a warrant, but the court only excluded items not found in plain view.
The Court of Appeals vacated all of Bradley’s convictions, except the Class A felony, on double jeopardy and sufficiency grounds. But the court upheld police entry into his home.
The issue in Timmie Bradley v. State of Indiana, 49S05-1602-CR-83, is whether Beatty had apparent authority to consent to police entry into Bradley’s home. The state argued it was reasonable for police to believe Beatty had authority based on his previous visit to the home and that he was the one who answered the door shortly after arriving on that second day.
“To prove apparent authority then, officers needed to prove that they held a reasonable belief that Beatty had authority over the home; that is, Beatty had joint access to or control of the property for most purposes. Thus, mere ‘affiliation’ with the home, without more, is not enough to establish a reasonable belief that the consenting party had authority over the home; nor does merely answering the door to a home indicate authority over that home. There could be a number of situations where someone lacking joint access or control over the property, such as a houseguest or maintenance worker, could answer the door. Beatty’s visit to Bradley’s home on one prior occasion and the fact that he answered the door do not demonstrate to a reasonable person that Beatty had joint access and control over the home,†Justice Steven David wrote.
The justices reversed the denial of Bradley’s motion to suppress and remanded for further proceedings.

MORE TIME NEEDED?
Gavel Gamut By Jim Redwine
(Week of 11 July 2016)
MORE TIME NEEDED?
The Universe is nearly fourteen billion years old according to some scientists. Their concept of time as linear makes no sense to me if by “The Universe†they mean everything. My puzzlement is, what was there before? Why isn’t that part of “everything� Even if they only mean all matter and the space between it, the “matter†had to come from or be something before the Big Bang, if there was a Big Bang. Perhaps the scientists are as the gods, “Their ways are higher than my ways and their thoughts are higher than my thoughts.†I can live with that.
Our tiny blue speck of The Universe is about four and one-half billion years old say these experts. I am okay with that estimate as it has a beginning about half way through the “beginning†of The Universe. In other words, the earth came from something; “Star Stuff†says astronomer and philosopher Carl Sagan.
Africa, our home of origin say these wise men, started breaking from the super-continent Pangea about a quarter of a billion years ago. Humans came along maybe three to four million years ago in Africa and we Homo sapiens evolved around two hundred thousand years ago. We named ourselves Homo sapiens, which means “wise men†or “wise humans†in Latin. It is probably only a coincidence that Latin is a dead language.
North America likely was first inhabited by these wise creatures around fourteen thousand years ago. The original Americans, the Native Americans one might say, lived more or less undisturbed for around thirteen thousand years until a few Norse men showed up and stayed a short while. Then the people we all nod and wink at as the “discoverers†of America arrived in 1492 and the immigrant gates slowly opened.
Two hundred eighty four years later we revolted against Great Britain. It took another 145 years before we completely subjugated the Natives and started to unsubjugate women. African Americans had to wait for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We are still stumbling toward total acceptance of some other groups.
Some might complain that fourteen billion years should be long enough. However, as we contemplate the significance of July 04, 1776, others might be enheartened and invigorated to complete, “the great task remaining before usâ€. I guess it depends on who evolves.

Sons of The American Legion Honor State Police with Wreath Laying Ceremony
Today, members of the Sons of The American Legion, Detachment of Indiana, performed a special wreath laying ceremony at the Indiana State Police Memorial and Eternal Flame located adjacent to the Indiana State Police Museum, 8660 East 21st Street, Indianapolis, IN. The event was to honor those troopers and employees of The Indiana State Police who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
The Sons of The American Legion is one branch of The American Legion Family. The Legion itself is made up of men and women who served honorably in U.S. military branches during times of conflict over the past 100 years. As such, the Sons is a program within The Legion and is made up of the sons, grandsons, and great grandsons of those who have held membership in The Legion or were eligible for membership if they are deceased. Indiana has the nation’s second-largest S.A.L. membership with more than 37,000 members.
There is a close connection between The American Legion Family and law enforcement officers throughout the country and in Indiana. A great many peace officers are, themselves, former soldiers and sailors and many of them are also members of The Legion and the Sons. The very preamble to the constitutions of, both, The American Legion and the Sons of The American Legion state, among other things, that we “…associate ourselves together…to maintain law and order.â€
The wreath laying ceremony was presided over by Chris Carlton, Commander of the Sons of The American Legion, Detachment of Indiana. Governor Mike Pence, State Police Superintendent Doug Carter, Officers and members of the Sons, members of The American Legion Family, branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, and members of the public attended the ceremony.
The laying of the wreath ceremony is tied into Indiana’s annual state conventions of The American Legion, the Sons of The American Legion, and The American Legion Auxiliary – all of which are taking place at the nearby Marriott Hotel. At one point during its convention, The American Legion will present its annual Law Enforcement Officer of The Year Award to a deserving peace officer.
Further questions regarding the Sons of The American Legion, Detachment of Indiana should be directed to Mike Pipher at (812) 360-3702 or mpipher@iu.edu.
