Officer Johnson was investigating a traffic accident and noticed an orange/black motorcycle involved in the accident that looked like a bike that had been reported to be stolen. He discovered photos of the suspect on Facebook, obtained his address, and drove to the suspect’s residence. Officer Johnson noticed a cycle under a tarp parked in the driveway and then entered the property, lifted the tarp, and confirmed from a license plate check and VIN number that this was the stolen cycle. The suspect was arrested for theft. The attorney for the suspect argues that this was an illegal search. Is he likely to prevail?
