Q. Can a officer open my car while I’m sleep to ask me a question when I’m parked in a parking spot

June 18, 2020

A: Depends on your location(private or public property). If the officer is lawfully allowed to be where he is when he is asking you the questions, then generally yes he is allowed to question you. If, however, the officer has entered private property without a search warrant and under no exception to the warrant requirement, then any answers elicited while questioning the individual in his home or observations made from inside the house may be excluded as fruit of the poisonous tree. This is a very fact-intensive inquiry so I would have to know more to provide a better answer.
