Dispute over election, tribe catches state Supreme Court’s eye
ST. IGNACE (AP) — The Michigan Supreme Court is interested in the case of a former police chief in the Upper Peninsula who’s been barred from running for public office because of a corruption conviction.
Fred Paquin wanted to run for St. Ignace City Council in 2013 and 2015 but was told that a conviction disqualified him under the Michigan Constitution.
He pleaded guilty in 2010 to misusing federal money given to the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians when he was the tribe’s police chief.
Paquin says he shouldn’t be barred from running for city council because the tribe is sovereign.
The state Supreme Court says it will hear arguments in the months ahead.
The appeals court last fall ruled against Paquin.
High court limits warrantless vehicle searches near homes
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is putting limits on the ability of police to search vehicles when they do not have a search warrant.
The court sided 8-1 Tuesday with a Virginia man who complained that police walked onto his driveway and pulled back a tarp covering his motorcycle, which turned out to be stolen.
They acted without a warrant, relying on a line of Supreme Court cases generally allowing police to search a vehicle without a warrant.
The justices said the automobile exception does not always apply when searching vehicles parked adjacent to a home.
Tiny California cottage on market for just under $1 million
LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. (AP) — A 595-square-foot Southern California cottage with one bedroom and one bathroom is on the market for just under $1 million.
The Orange County Register reports the price of the tiny abode in tony Laguna Beach dropped to $998,900 this month after being listed for as much as $1.15 million last year.
The Lombardy Lane lodging was built in 1941 and is about five blocks from the Pacific Ocean.
Listing agent Gary Boisen of Surterre Properties tells the newspaper it has been in the same family for nearly 50 years.
He says most buyers would probably modernize it to a degree, but even if the city allowed it to be torn down it probably couldn't be rebuilt with the current footprint due to many code changes.
