My question involves police conduct in the State of Kentucky. Does an absconder have the right to privacy when arrested leaving a hotel room in which he was living for weeks? When arrested for parole violation outside his hotel room which was not in his name, the police used his hotel room key to enter his room and do a warrantless search. They found crack cocaine inside an article of clothing in the hotel room. Did the police have probable cause to do the search and is the evidence admissible?
