State of Louisiana v. Avery Julien

Summary

The court held that a warrantless search of the defendant's residence violated the probation-search statute because it was conducted by probation officers who were not assigned to the defendant. The court further held that the statutory violation made the search unreasonable under the Louisiana Constitution, requiring exclusion of the seized evidence. The district court's suppression ruling was therefore affirmed, and the matter was remanded for further proceedings.
