State of Iowa v. Amadeus Demetrius Mcclain

Summary

The court held that it had jurisdiction in the interest of justice to review the suppression ruling reserved in McClain's conditional guilty plea. It declined to consider McClain's challenge to the trooper's marijuana-identification training because that issue was not preserved, but held that the automobile exception remains valid despite the availability of electronic search warrants. The court therefore affirmed the denial of the suppression motion and McClain's conviction.
