United States v. Edward Cardona

SELYA, Circuit Judge.

This case requires us, for the first time, to explore the interstices and margins of the Court’s opinion in Griffin v. Wisconsin, 483 U.S. 868, 107 S.Ct. 3164, 97 L.Ed.2d 709 (1987). Having completed this journey into fourth amendment jurisprudence, we hold that a parolee may be arrested in his own home by a police officer not possessing a judicial warrant when the police officer acts in good faith at the request of parole authorities who, in accordance with a parole regulation, have found reasonable cause to order the individual’s detention as a suspected parole violator.
