Supreme Court of Iowa

State of Iowa v. Artell Jamario Young

December 20, 2024

Summary

The court held that Iowa constitutional standards do not govern a search conducted entirely by federal probation officers under federal authority when state and local officers neither knew of nor participated in the search. Because the search complied with federal law and there was no evidence of an effort to evade Iowa restrictions, the court upheld admission of the seized evidence and affirmed Young’s convictions and sentence.
