On March 23, 2021, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in United States v. Cooley. The Court will address whether the Ninth Circuit erred in upholding the suppression of evidence obtained when an Indian tribe police officer temporarily detained a non-Indian crossing a reservation on a public right of way and discovered evidence of federal crime during the stop. Defendant Cooley argues the evidence should be suppressed because the officer’s stop and search exceeded the scope of jurisdiction permitted by the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968.
Joining us to discuss the Oral Argument is Anthony J. Ferate, Of Counsel at Spencer Fane LLP.
