State v. Dawson
Court of Appeals of Oregon · Decided February 25, 1987 · Hoomissen, Young
84 Or. App. 138; 733 P.2d 461; 1987 Ore. App. LEXIS 3021

State v. Dawson

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM

This case was remanded to us from the Oregon Supreme Court, for reconsideration in light of State v. Owens, 302 Or 196, 729 P2d 524 (1986). In our first opinion, 77 Or App 306, 307, 713 P2d 45 (1986), we held that the warrantless testing of the contents of a paperfold seized from defendant’s jacket was unlawful under Article 1, § 9 of the Oregon Constitution. That holding is wrong under Owens.

Affirmed.
