Arizona Supreme Court

State of Arizona, Appellant v. Christian Adair, Appellee

November 22, 2016241 Ariz. 58

Summary

The court held that a warrantless search of a probationer's residence is constitutional when reasonable under the totality of the circumstances, and that reasonable suspicion is not categorically required. Applying that standard, the court concluded the search was reasonable because it was conducted by probation officers under valid search conditions, concerned suspected conduct similar to the probationer's prior offenses, and was supported by information from a known informant. The court also held that the search did not violate Arizona's constitutional privacy provision.
