United States v. Tessier, No. 15-5284 (6th Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseTessier was on probation for a 2011 Tennessee felony conviction for sexual exploitation of a minor. His probation order contained a “standard” search condition that applied to all probationers in Tennessee: “I agree to a search, without a warrant, of my person, vehicle, property, or place of residence by any Probation/Parole officer or law enforcement officer, at any time.” After being subjected to a search that was not otherwise supported by reasonable suspicion, Tessler unsuccessfully moved to suppress evidence of child pornography and pled guilty to child pornography charges. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, applying the totality-of-the-circumstances reasonableness approach employed by the Supreme Court.
