United States v. Andrus  

Definition

  • In United States v. Andrus, 483 F.3d 711 (2007), the U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a conviction for possession of child pornography by deciding, after reviewing Fourth Amendment consent requirements, that the search of a personal computer had been justified through the doctrine of third-party apparent consent. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agent Cheatham and Leawood Police Detective Woolen had identified fifty-one-year-old Ray Andrus as a possible suspect through investigating Regpay, a credit card company that provided subscribers access to pornographic websites.
