Case Law Update

 

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 | 1 pm Eastern [60 minutes]

Regular training strengthens performance. When policy and daily practice align, you reduce risk and improve readiness.

New York search and seizure law continues to evolve as state and federal courts address emergency entries, investigative encounters and vehicle searches. For officers, understanding how these decisions affect day-to-day enforcement is essential to making sound decisions in the field and protecting the admissibility of evidence.

In this webinar, attorney and retired police chief Mike Ranalli will review recent search and seizure decisions affecting New York law enforcement and explain what they mean for officers in the field. Building on two previous webinars, "Applying New York Search and Seizure Law in Everyday Street Encounters" and "Conducting Traffic Stops in New York: 2026 Legal Updates and Practical Applications," Mike will examine emerging legal issues, clarify how New York courts are applying state and federal standards, and provide practical guidance for navigating common enforcement situations. 

You’ll learn: 

  • How recent federal and New York court decisions affect the emergency doctrine.
  • How New York's Appellate Divisions are applying People v. Leighton R.
  • Key legal considerations that can affect the validity of vehicle inventory searches.
  • How recent case law applies to search and seizure issues commonly encountered by New York law enforcement officers.
