Does the Attorney General have reasonable cause to arrest and search a man in a second room of a house where he was allegedly being used as a bookmaker?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Sanders, 294 P.2d 10, 46 Cal.2d 247 (Cal. 1956):
The Attorney General contends that when the officers looked through the door into the second room, they had reasonable cause to believe that defendant had committed a felony and that he was committing the offense of occupying premises for the purposes of bookmaking in their presence, and that therefore the arrest and search were lawful. See Pen.Code 836(1, 3); People v. Martin, 45 Cal.2d 755, 290 P.2d 855. We cannot agree with this contention.
