P. v. Richardson
An attorney at the Department of Corporations received an anonymous telephone call informing him that a compact disk (CD) “with documents” from defendant’s computer, downloaded by the anonymous caller, would be arriving in the mail. The attorney received a CD in the mail a few days later. He put the CD in his computer and looked at the contents of the documents on the CD, which aided him in his investigation of defendant’s misdeeds. Defendant's investigation led to criminal charges against defendant, and defendant moved to suppress the fruits of the contents of the documents on the CD on the ground that a search warrant was required. The trial court denied the motion. On appeal, defendant reiterates his contention. Court concluded that the trial court did not err in denying defendant’s motion. Judgment Affirmed.
