Description
When a private party has engaged in a search and has seized property or information, the protections of the fourth amendment
apply only if the private party "in light of all the circumstances of the case, must be regarded as having acted as an 'instrument'
or agent of the State." Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, 487 (1971). Once a private search has been completed, subsequent involvement of government agents does not transform the
original intrusion into a governmental search. United States v. Sherwin, 539 F.2d 1, 6 (9th Cir. 1976). Mere acceptance by the government of materials obtained in a private search is not a seizure so long
as the materials are voluntarily relinquished to the government.
