United States v. Virginia Consuelo-Gonzalez

CHOY, Circuit Judge:

I concur in the majority opinion except as to the statement at page 266 reiterating the approbation given in the majority opinion in Latta v. Fitzharris to mere hunch as a basis of reasonable belief for a warrantless search by a parole/probation officer of a parolee’s/probationer’s residence.

For the reasons stated in my concurring opinion in Latta, I think the statement is ill-advised.

Circuit Judge MERRILL concurs in this concurring opinion.
