1Opinion of the Court

By Judge Clifford R. Weckstein

The defendant, William David Tucker, has moved to suppress evidence seized when police officers executed a search warrant at his home. After hearing and considering the evidence and argument of counsel, the court will enter an order granting the motion to suppress. The Fourth Amendment guarantees that “[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation.” U.S. Const., amend. IV.
