Gary, a well-known gambler, owned a vintage red sports car with the license plate “JCKPT.” One day, Gary sold his car to Coretta, a woman who had just moved to town. The parties forgot to remove the license plate. Later that day, having Gary’s lucky car and license plate, Coretta decided to try her luck at a local casino. In less than an hour, Coretta lost all her money. To make up the loss, Coretta quickly pried open a slot machine and stuffed her blue purse with specially stamped gold tokens the casino used instead of actual, United States coins. A security officer caught a glimpse of the activities and gave chase. The security officer was too slow to stop the crime but did see the thief get into the well-known vintage red sports car with its “JCKPT” license plate. Based on the vehicle and plate, the security officer assumed the gambler was the culprit and called the police, telling them what “the gambler” had done. The police dispatcher broadcasted an all-points bulletin including the facts as the security officer thought them to be.Officer Henry heard the bulletin and spotted the car with its “JCKPT” license plate.

Officer Henry reached into the car, seized the purse, and found the specially stamped gold coins inside the purse. Officer Henry then arrested Coretta for grand larceny. Coretta’s attorney made a pre-trial motion to suppress the purse and coins, arguing that the search violated his client’s Fourth Amendment rights.How should the court rule on the motion?

One day, the SAPD received reliable information that a large brown suitcase with leather straps containing a supply of cocaine had been delivered to Aidan’s home and that it would be moved to a distribution point the next morning. The SAPD obtained a valid search warrant to search for and seize the brown suitcase and the cocaine and went to Aidan’s house.The police knocked on the dealer’s door and called out, “Police. Open up. We have a search warrant.” After a few seconds with no response, the SAPD forced the door open and entered. Hearing noises in the basement, the SAPD ran down there and found Aidan with a large brown suitcase with leather straps. They seized the suitcase and put handcuffs on Aidan. A search of Aidan’s person revealed a switchblade knife and a .45-caliber pistol.

Brewbucks, a small but rapidly growing coffee chain, entered into a written agreement with SipTech, an appliance manufacturer, for the purchase of ten coffee machines at $200 per machine, with delivery to its new store required by June 1. Brewbucks selected SipTech’s coffee machines specifically for their patented heating technology that could instantly heat water, allowing Brewbucks to sell more drinks than its competitors, but all while keeping their prices low. During negotiations, Brewbucks verbally made it clear that timely delivery was essential to the opening of their new store on June 15. SipTech verbally stated they understood and Brewbucks paid SipTech a total of $2,000 for the ten coffee machines. Two weeks after the agreement was executed, SipTech informed Brewbucks via email that rising material costs would prevent it from completing the order unless Brewbucks agreed to increase the price to $250 per unit. Since Brewbucks had already set a date for the grand opening of its new store, Brewbucks felt they had no choice and, in an email, agreed to the price increase but said they would pay the difference on the day of delivery. SipTech replied, “Ok.” On June 1, SipTech delivered the ten coffee machines to the new store on time, but upon inspection, Brewbucks discovered that two of the machines had visible scratches and dents, though they remained fully functional. Concerned about customer perception and their brand, Brewbucks rejected the entire shipment and demanded a refund. SipTech took all ten coffee machines back but refused to return Brewbucks’ $2,000, stating that Brewbucks was in breach of contract for unreasonably rejecting the shipment, since the scratches and dents on just two of the ten coffee machines were cosmetic and the machines otherwise worked as intended. With the grand opening approaching, Brewbucks purchased ten replacement coffee machines that took 3 minutes to heat the water and from a different supplier at $200 per machine. Brewbucks estimates that having to use the slower coffee machines costs it $5,000 a month in sales. Brewbucks sues SipTech for breach of contract. Fully discuss Brewbucks rights and remedies, if any, but do not discuss warranties.
