Whether an officer's discovery of someone else's outstanding arrest warrant necessarily attenuates the illegality of a defendant's own detention under Utah v. Strieff, 579 U.S. 232 (2016)

Question Presented for Review In Utah v. Strieff, 579 U.S. 232 (2016), this Court held that an officer’s discovery of a valid, pre-existing arrest warrant for the defendant himself attenuated the connection between the officer’s unlawful investigatory stop of the defendant and evidence seized from the defendant during a search incident to his arrest. The question presented here is whether an officer’s discovery of someone else’s outstanding arrest warrant necessarily attenuates the illegality of a defendant’s own detention under Strieff. ii
