Washington v. Rose
Annotate this CasePetitioner Douglas Rose challenged his convictions for unlawful possession of a stolen access device and for unlawful possession of a controlled substance. The issue before the Supreme Court was whether the credit card Petitioner possessed was an "access device" under Washington law. Further, the Court was presented with the issue of whether Petitioner's arrest, which lead to the search of his bag and discovery of the evidence eventually presented against him, was supported by probable cause. Under the facts of this case, the Supreme Court concluded that the State did not meet its burden to show that the card in question was an "access device." The Court reversed on that issue, but affirmed Petitioner's arrest on all other grounds.
