Jimmy Paul Pickle, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee — Goodson, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting in Part

Summary

Justice Goodson would affirm the denial of Pickle's motion to suppress. She agrees that wildlife officers may conduct brief compliance checks of hunters whom they reasonably suspect are hunting or have recently hunted, but disagrees that the officers violated the Fourth Amendment by running an NCIC check after leaving the hunting camp because the check was neither a search nor a seizure. Justice Danielson, dissenting separately, likewise would uphold the compliance check and criticizes the majority for failing to clearly define the governing rule.
